Actually, that wallow has done me a long-term good. I've been susceptible to motion sickness since I was a kid. When learning to fly in Cessna 172s, I had to come down early from lessons to recover from the nausea before going up again later in the day. The Coupe wallows much more. Flying with the bumps, drops, rises and wallow which occur with no visible warning takes some getting used to. However, months and years of wallow and bumps cured my persistent motion sickness. Now, I can ride across town (or anywhere) as a passenger in a car! Worth the cost of learning to fly all by itself. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill. N3802H
