From: Gerry Filby --> RV9-List message posted by: Gerry Filby Spent the afternoon at SQL in a 2000 Cessna 172SP ... one more BFR under my belt .... first time I'd flown an all aluminum certified bird, thought it would be interesting since my regular ride is a Diamond Katana Man, what an eye opener the pre-flight was - have you ever taken a close look at the construction of those Cessnas ? All the rivets (double the spacing of our RVs) are raised head. The fit and finish is ... well, amateur is the word that comes to mind, but that doesn't make sense. As for the motor - a bitch to start, sounded worse than my old Dad's lawn mower. And it drives like a tractor. When I got home I had to take a shower - boy was this project ever the right decision ... for me. g ========================================================== Gerry Filby gerf@gerf.com Home (415) 239 4846 Cell (415) 203 9177 -----------------------------7d42872a90110 1
