Interesting. I've stalled my Robertson, and it should have a lower stall speed than a Horton.

I have no idea why the stall speed changed in 1978.

I used Ben to give me an insurance-mandated IPC when I bought my new 337. I used his plane since I couldn't fly my plane home until I'd had the IPC.

It was a little expensive, but he was a nice guy....

I'm flying my T337E into KGTU on Monday. I won't have a lot of free time then, but I might when I return on Friday or Saturday to pick it up.

Insurance companies just write checks. They're not in the repair business. It's definitely an owner problem.

I've flown a straight Skymaster, a Horton, and a Robertson. I own a Robertson.

The Robertson is a little more "mushy" with flaps at 2/3 or full. It's fine, but noticeable. Once you get to 2/3 or...

Turning Radius

I was surprised to find that my 1970 T337E doesn't turn as tight as I expected. It will just barely make a 180 turn on a 50' runway. Is this normal?
