Is a light twin below 200HP considered "high performance"?

I know, I'm the same way, and it can be really tough to remember that sometimes.

Know the feeling. Speaking of that, I took my ME training in a Travelair, with 2 x 180 HP engines, and it was the first complex aircraft I had flown, so I got my complex endorsement, but couldn't get my HP endorsement. When I started flying the 337, I got my HP endorsement.

It's the rules. Granted, a Travelair goes a heck of a lot faster than a 182, but it's still not a HP airplane.

So, wait a minute. So, I could have gotten my alternator to work, just by pumping up the mains?? Why didn't my mechanic think of that??
Could have saved myself a ton of money. Well, not actually a ton, unless of course I paid him in pennies, but then I would have had to pump up the tires in the car, but then the list goes on, of things that would have gotten fixed, by just pumping up the tires.
