I got my first ride in the M II today. Herb Rose and his Uncle Bud flew to Tampa from Pennsylvannia yesterday.

I didn't really encounter any problems, other than the root ribs seem a little Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:27:19 GMT JOHN HARDEN http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mustangaero/message/26962 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mustangaero/message/26962 My MII data with O-290-D2 68X72 cruise wood prop: 1,100 fpm one person. 900 fpm with passenger. 886 lbs. empty weight. 1350 gross weight.
