Remember when you get your Long done and start blowing past all the pokey Cessna's you will never think of your plane as boring. It is the greatest airplane ever designed in my opinion.

mfryer Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 It's the James Bondian rear ejection seat actuator! If that is correct then he has it mounted in the wrong location. As everyone knows, the ejecton seat button should be hidden inside the control stick (flip open top of stick and red button to eject).

Steve build on Amen! I never thought of my first Long (O-235 <253?> ) as slow! I never thought of it as ugly either. (It was, I have newer standards for my workmanship. ) Exceptions: It was slightly slower than the o-320 Longs. It was ugly next to the showplanes. BUT! When I stood next to these guys, they never condescended to me and were very gracious to the younger guy with the slower and uglier airplane. I was in a special group.
