Recently I saw Bob Stone's post about taking anyone for flight if they interested in flying in a 601XL if they pay for fuel. I travel in Texas a lot and most of my evenings are just plain boring so I jumped on the chance to go flying. It was a beautiful afternoon, winds close to zero, the only downside was the heat, it was very hot. Bob has a beautiful 601XL with a Jabiru and I was really impressed by the performance on such a hot day, especially when you consider both of us are around 200 lbs. His plane handles very well and when Bob trimmed it up there was none of the heavy wing effect I have read about. We flew for about an hour and in my opinion, the 601 is a great little plane and it certainly was an enjoyable afternoon for me. Bob is a very interesting fellow, he is 78 years old, flies an airplane, rides motorcycles and enjoys a post-flight conversation over a cold brew. I decided during our flight that I will do the same thing for others when my plane is in the air, it is a great way to meet people and make new friends. Thanks Bob!
