Ed - Got it - thanks for the clarification.
Did that Coupe in Florida ever sell that was on Barnstormers a few weeks ago - the one with the white paint, complete rebuild, and awful turquoise interior? If I had $35K extra lying around, it looked like a whale of a good buy, assuming you had another few hundred to immediately re-do the interior <g>. What is it with turquoise interiors in Florida airplanes? Must be a Miami Dolphins thing.

I was advising Gary that during a crosswind takeoff, at the moment of liftoff, the plane will weathervane into its apparent wind. From that point on, it climbs out in the crab and minor turns will keep you tracking the runway centerline. Ed
