I take exception to his comments on IFR, though. I think Mr. Low will find the L-235 to be an excellent IFR platform. I only have a few hours in the L-235 (Clarence's, not mine), but actually find IFR much easier to fly than VFR. When I'm just cruising around under VFR in that fast little plane, it's easy to gain or lose 500 ft. without even noticing. But when Clarence and I flew from Titusville, FL to Pickens, SC and back [much of it under mild IFR], it was a walk in the park to hold the aircraft rock steady on altitude. Obviously in that situation, one is scanning the instruments continuously and for me it was much easier to hold altitude than when flying VFR. There was no rolling tendency or turning tenency at all that I could detect, either. The L-235 is a sweet little plane. (Now if I can just get mine finished...) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
