hi there

THE IDEA:
i s= hopped for a 4P as the prices dropped into a range that i could handle. i l= iked the speed=2C i liked the range=3B i liked the fuel economy and i loved= the idea of the ability to travel far.

when my lady looked at a 4P = she turned to me and said: "you expect me to ride in that HOTROD?!!"
later on she ventured to ask what was the safety record. Answer "TERRIBLE"=

ELEVEN MONTHS LATER:

i have put 120 hours on the plane in th= e first eleven months of flying

it is now a good friend=2C a good airplane and a delight to fly= =3B
i get excited just thinking about flying it.

AND I AM= SAFE IN THE AIRPLANE

and=2C my lady enjoys the plane=3B she is bust= ing to take over the navigation and the transponder

YET
as i turn= onto the runway for takeoff=2C i say "peter=2C keep it straight=2C adjust = for the torque=2C and get it flying"
YET
in the pattern=2C i talk to = myself about coordinated flight. "do not slip it" "Do not get below 120kts = til slowing down on final to the runway
YET
the slowest i have been o= n short final is 95kts

NEXT STEP
i still need to learn the use of= the AOA which should aid in speed and aircraft control.

IT IS A LEA= RNING PROCESS=2C IT IS A LOT OF AIRPLANE=3B IT IS A LOT OF FUN

we ha= d a trip back from eastern Massachusetts to TEB where the convective activi= ty was severe. so severe that the tower told me that even the jets were goi= ng "tower enroute" for weather avoidance. on a nominal 170NM trip they were= vectoring us and allowing us to be =3B as much as 30nm off course. bet= ween their weather and the on board weather=2C it became an doable trip.&nb= sp=3B

VERY EXCITING TO USE ALL THE SYSTEMS AND THE SYSTEM ITSELF TO= ACCOMPLISH A FLIGHT IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS

sometimes=2C (not to offe= nd anyone with the analogy) i equate the 4P to the care you have to give to= a Loaded gun.
=3B =3B =3B =3B =3B it is not re= motely dangerous if handled properly

and=2C in six trips TEB - KEYW = i have had twelve legs with headwinds. a new record=2C but never had a grou= nd speed below 200kts

AH=2C SUCH IS A LIFE IN A =3B LNC4
&nbs= p=3B =3B i smile as i write this
