Flying Light Retractables
Cook gives a unique perspective on ergonomics, control feel and other features that work or don't work for the pilot and/or passengers it becomes obvious that he has spent many hours in different makes of aircraft. As a potential buyer, you're most interested in performance and economic trade-offs, and Cook excels in such details. His balanced discussion stacks the technical detail (speeds, loads, etc.) against economic factors.
