I'd double check that figure.

That's what happens when you post without thinking. I was thinking two engines. Sorry guys

I had an FO a few years ago who bought a clipped wing Chritiansen Eagle with a 540 on it. He said it would climb vertical until you got bored.

If you're not living onthe edge, you're taking up too much room.

FlyingFish, was that at Air America? I towed with that one season!

Nope. Mom and pop shop. Fun fun fun airplane.

Just did my type in the Encore...it's a fun airplane too

Aerial Sign here in fort lauderdale has (or had) an 0-540 powered cub, I saw the thing taking off here at FXE years ago and the thing even put an Helio Courier to shame, it almost floated off the runway followed by a ridiculous climb. Not sure what happened to it, been years since I last saw it.

Last I checked, they still had it. They used it to tow those monster bollboards.

you had to fly from the back seat for weight and balance.
