Well y'all talk about chopping power. and high sink rates. Heck I had a Brick Coupe. It didn't have much power and when ya cut it it was time to be on the ground. But seriously..it was a 41 Ercoupe. 75 HP no starter no batteries radio ran off a wind generator. Ceconite wings metal otherwise..Serial Number 12. The darn thing did 110 true on 3 1/2 gals an hour....and even though it had no rudder pedals it was a very maneuverable plane and was a fun plane to fly..the neatest was an ol Taylorcraft we used to go to the beach at Ocean City Md and fly just off the beach and check out the girls..especially down on Assateague..Gals did a lot of topless down there.. Ummmm long ago..far far away. You could actually cut the power into the wind and actually go backwards on a windy day.
