So in preperation of meeting my new baby girl, im finding out what folks mean that our owners manual is nothing like a true POH...
No specific vx, vy, best glide for distance, etc. What speeds do you guys and gals use?
Also no great preflight checklist in there, anyone have a good practical but thorough one they use, they would share?
V speeds and preflight
