How much do you expect them to pay you to fly the thing?

OK, It is officially winter in the northern hemisphere. We have begun
picking on the PW5's.

It looks to me that Derek is afraid that he might fly across the
English Channel in the PW-5 and find himself in France.....

I've flown one once. Its quite pleasant to fly but noticeably lower
performance than a Junior. The only vice I was warned about was a
tendency to PIO on aero tow takeoffs if you raise the nose too fast too
soon, but I didn't find that a problem. I don't feel too good about
being seen getting out of one (I think they are ugly) but I was a
visitor and needed to fly it to get a crack at the club's Libelle. I'd
always wanted to fly a Libelle and it was well worth the preliminaries.

I am trying to locate a PW-5 that is near to Marfa or can be trailered to
Marfa as part of the deal.

Derek whatever your name is, don't you have something better to do?

Bill,

Don't worry about Derek. He is one of those "very smart" people who
will try to bring you down to his level and then kill you with
experience.

Good luck on your search.
