Only because he let his fingers do the walking--right into the database, no doubt.

No, Richard, I knew the answer. Rushing to look it up in the database would sort of miss the point, wouldn't it?

As for performance specs, I know (and knew) only that the airplane was so underpowered that it had no appreciable single-engine "climb rate."

Some people know a lot more about useless things than they rightfully should; I am one of those people. I was the one who got the Windecker Eagle almost instantly too, recalling it because I remember reading all the articles about it back when it was being developed in west Texas.

Heck Spike, with two O-200s and fixed pitch props and all that drag, it probably has a single engine glide ratio about the same as a single if it lost it's one and only. The only real good thing you could say about the Lancer was that it was unique and was a twin.

I sort of fit in that category on some things, too.

Spike, I was kidding. However, I thought it near imposssible that anyone would actually know something about this plane, let alone ID it. You proved me wrong, and how.

As I was reading the specs you provided I thought what a dog that plane was. Who would be likely to fly it?
