RE: 140rx's days numbered?
Yes, I agree with you, Arch . .
Although his question was . . "I guess my question is, is there a home for the old 140 anymore?" . . and I say, YES. But as you say (and I said, for that matter) it struggles in rolling vertical manouevres, even in a light Integral. BUT there are many, MANY pilots not flying at the more elite level. So, correct airframe choice is the key to having a really nice (and reliable) set-up to go fly . .
