I would have had a great big problem with my plane if John and I had not gone for a flight in yours first. We were both surprised to find out just how fast the coupe lands. While it is easy to land, you will be totally screwed if you try to bring it in at 55 or 60 mph like I thought would be the landing speed. Over the fence at 80 and it is a greaser every time.
