Don't feel bad, Doug -- I did the same thing after my flight in a CT.
It's just a great airplane.

Yeah, it was pretty close to their claimed specs during that flight.
This was a three blade CT, which I've noticed to be slightly slower than
the 2 blade FlightDesign CT. The plane had about 20 hobbs hours at the
time. The prop is also ground adjustable, so some tweaking could be
done there.

Sleemans. Hmmm.
I think a full "flight" of Big Rock, Calgary's finest, is in order. Warthog;
Traditional; McNally's; Grasshopper .......

Garmin did not design the GNS480, so none of the Garmin designs
incorporate that feature.

I forget, didn't we bring some Sleemans last time? That's pretty great
stuff.

Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it
should be hard to understand.

Making whole-hearted attempts may prove most effective.

My gal, Black, is on a runway in Minot, ND (next in line) waiting for her
NWA DC9-30 to take off.
They have great weather in Minot today, after getting pounded by snow for
three straight days. In the Twin Cities, we've got no snow left due to weeks
of mild winter temps and heavy rains all day today, on top of some drizzle
the past few days. No snow, that is, ....until now!
The snow is really falling in the Twin Cities - as of 4pm local time. MSP
has just closed a runway because of it. So there she sits, at the end of the
runway - going on an hour and a half now. (Hey, these cell phones are GREAT)
It'll be a 1.5 hour flight if/when they depart MOT.
Mont
More time to clean
