you are right.I bought N3619H in Mi.June of 1999.Plane was so clean I had an 80 yr old go with me on first test flt.Missed the first one landing like a 150. The 2nd one I ask the old guy what to do.He said what do you fly most?I said last 70hrs in a PA24-250 Commanche.He said try this coupe the same way.I did,I bought and first flt home 412NM .never had more fun than the last 145hrs i have flown her.Thanks to all the Coupe owners I listened.Ron N3619Hriginal Message----- From: Larry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, October 27, 2000 3:01 PM Subject: Re: [COUPERS] Stalls >----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > >Using my analytical brain ( not the BS one that most of you have come to know), I have figured out the >problem.
