Lines: 22 I agree with you about the Cessna Cardinal (RG or not is ok with me). The big auto type doors make sense to me. You don't have to push the seats back into the shins of your back seat passengers to get out. Also strutless is beautiful. It has low, sleek lines and looks great in the air. Originally, Cessna thought it would replace the 172, but it wasen't accepted in that way. The early planes suffered from being underpowered and had poor landing characteristics because the stabalator (the only Cessna aircraft with one) would run out of lift in the flair. This was later solved by adding leading edge slots in the stabalator to keep the tail from stalling early. Now if only I could find one for less that $20k in any kind of shape! Or maybe I could get a partner to... Or how about...... -- -------------------------------------------------------- Don't blame me!
