Sometime during the day (almost everyday it seems) I click on the "How to buy" page and spend the next hour or so in complete oblivion to the trials and tribulations of the world that surrounds me. It's an enjoyable pastime that keeps a dream alive that goes back into the late 40's when a neighbor gave a dirt poor Iowa farm boy a ride in a J3 Cub.
I've done a little flying off and on throughout my adult life, but I have never owned an aircraft of my own...I keep dreaming with the help of the HOW TO BUY page. I pick an option, then check the weight...maybe reconfigure...check weights again, come to a conclusion and have one more dream to stack in the mental hanger. The next day I find myself starting all over again, it's fun and it keeps an old man busy.
There is one option which, for me, needs additional "benefits gain" explanation, and that is polished struts.
Is it a speed gain of a knot or so?
