Riley Super Skyrockets

[Jim Smith]

That certainly makes sense. I did a little more research and discovered that their payload is considerably less than a standard Skymaster, which is surprising for a plane that climbs at 2500fpm. Also, they burn 10-12 more gph at cruise for only a 30kt gain in performance. When you add in the cost of eng overhauls on Cont 520's and three bladed props, all those numbers don't add up to a very useful aircraft. Thanks again for you input.

On a different note, are there many SOAPA members heading to Sun and Fun this year?
