Default RE: Starting first twin

ORIGINAL: William Robison
My legs are longer than some, I'm 6' 4" tall. But at the same time they are exactly the right length to reach from the ground to my crotch. Haw.
Bill, I'm 80" tall (or 203 cm, up here.) While my legs are also exactly the right length, it can get a bit expensive keeping them covered. Trousers with a 40" inseam are not cheap.

Regarding the planes, the Twin-Air has plenty of room stock for 11" props on grass, the Duellist 2/40 is marginal on grass, but OK on a paved runway. No problem with the 10" props. The 2/60 has no clearance problem unless you really go wild on prop diameter.
My old 2/40 ran a couple of 9x8 props quite well on a pair of Webra Speed .40's with tuned mufflers. Speedy little devil too. May she rest in peace (pieces?)
