This is a pretty old shot of my 80 Vette and Piper Arrow that I flew at the time.



I was also flying this in several different configurations but it "usually" kept at least 2 wheels on the ground at most times.

I thought the same thing! I was just in Orange Park a while back for training at NAS Jax and I took pictures of the static displays.

No, not the super. Its an 8KCAB, constant speed prop, inverted fuel and oil systems, symmetrical wing, and the 150hp motor. I'm trying to get a pic up but I'm having trouble doing it from my phone, i'll get one up later.
