Hi Paul,
I didn't read 'windshear' into his comments but I suppose you could be
right and he just
worded it poorly. Still, the rest of his comments were so far off-base
that I don't really
think that he meant windshear or he would have said so. And that would
not pertain 'only'
to Ercoupes. If anything, the coupes should do better in a windshear (on
final) as they are
moving faster 'down the chute' than the other light planes that he's
comparing us with.
Let's face it, with each comment/reply he's just getting in deeper and
deeper.
