REFLECTOR:Re: RG vs. Fixed

[Ronnie Brown]

I agree Rob.  But someone told me about a Cessna 337 pilot with many hours
who landed at Concord a couple of years ago. He realized he had screwed up
when he heard the scraping noise of bottom mounted antennas, tried to do a
go around but next he hear the god awful noise of both props digging into
asphalt.  DitchMaster, he didn't need brakes. Hmmmm.  If you had had an RG,
you could have raised the gear before you got to the ditch!   ;>))))
