When I owned the Sundowner while I planned 110 knots, it was normal to
be below 110 knots *especially near the stratosphere :-) *I used the
plane for my commute to and from work as well as pleasure trips.


Ok, thanks. A CFI once told me that even a C152 cuts
enough time and hassle off one's trip time that it may
be considered a regional (50 - 200miles) commuter
that could be preferable to driving.

Speed is great, but there's no need to be in a hurry
either if you don't have to.
