The airplane is a Light Sport type of airplane (a two-seater, with "fixed gear," that cannot weight more than 1320 lbs by law, loaded with two people and fuel), made in the Czech Republic, called a Sting Sport. But it will cruise all day long at 130 mph, getting 22 mpg on premium auto gas. For over 1/2 century I couldn't stay out of boats--and every kind of fishing known to man. Now, I can't stay out of this thing!
