True about the speed, RogueDog.

My brother flew my Kaos after I was having a hard time keeping up with it. I was running it wide open and he showed me a beautiful performance of low speed aerobatics right in front of our faces at Prado, and then flew a landing pattern half the runway length and landed in 100 feet at our feet.

I didn't fly the same as he showed me after that, but I did realize that I didn't need to fly nearly as fast as I was and was reminded as to how slowly I could fly it if necessary. Landing became very fun, as the wings on these older Pattern ships hang on to very low speeds.

Jason, I hope you are able to keep these ships and restore them, they'd be great flyers and you would have a little bit of your Dad with you always.
