Ok, I knew that much. :-) Actually, I meant to compliment Van because
it's obvious he really knows what he's doing and designs some wonderful
aircraft, but looking at a 152 up close it's really not too difficult to
imagine something going lots faster with the same engine. :-) Lots of
bumps & draggy stuff all over those things.



Best example of same basic design that goes much faster on same engine is the
GlasStar. It is very comparable in design and size to the 152 but has
performance figures that are far better.
