RE: Peppermint Pattie
No, Ed, as I recall, my feeling at the time was that I was expecting it to fly like the 60, but it did not have the same "solid" feeling. Having flown 40-size since then, it is just how that size plane flies in general. I have the same feeling with the Perigee, although I must say I like the way it flies.
With the 15 PP, I knew it would fly like a small plane, so I wasn't surprised. I guess my expectations back then were colored by Rhett Miller's success with his 40 plane.
