Wayne,
Thanks for the picture, but the exact angle that it is taken from is
probably the only one that does NOT show any difference from a regular
velocity- do you have any others you can post?

  Hi Guys,
  Find attached a picture of the Firefly taken at the factory. It's a nice
flying plane,
  not quite as fast as an XL and quite a bit more complicated. Everything is
basically
  per plans except for the wings and winglets. The wingspan is about 34',
the wings
  and spars are completely different. The inboard, boom mounted rudders are
coupled
  and move left & right vs out only per plans. Power is the Lycomng IO540 -
260HP,
  it also has yokes instead of the center stick. Approach speed are about
the same but
  low speed handling is a bit more docile. The pilot in this picture is my
wife who just
  landed after a 45 minute flight. When I took this picture she had under 5
hours of time
  in her book and had little trouble with the Firefly, her only remarks were
about things
  happening a little faster than with the Warrior...

  Regards to All,
  Wayne Lanza
