It's a very fast piston-engine airplane... It has a single pipe, looks
cool, and most people (pilots) are able to look at the airplane, and
KNOW
that it's fast...It doesn't have to advertise.

I prefer (though I want a scoop...Right Kukukooter? :) to have the
stealth approach.. A sleeper you might say...

Do you really tow a 35' travel trailer with you Dakota??!?? I was
looking into getting a 24' trailer, but the empty trailer weight was
near
5500#s... Add water, food, junk, that would take it up to 6200# or
so...Add
the weight of my truck 4300# (me, wife, 2-black labs, and full
tank-O-gas)...
And it'd be above the max CGVW.... How does it tow (real experience,
not
fantasy..)
Thanks!

I did have duals on my Jetski, but it hurt performance...So I went
back to a exit vs. dual...
