Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Skyscraper...

O200's are published at 6GPH and you'll only do that good flying
anywhere near sea level if you are leaning.

I'll agree to the rest as long as don't ask me to hire an instructor
willing to fly around with such little margin for error. There are old
pilot and there are bold pilots... The latter doesn't belong in the
right seat IMHO.
