Sounds like something I would say actually. Or at least think it anyways. That is just too funny.

Steve, the Twinkie is one hell of a fun bird to fly. My only complaint is that trying to trim it is near impossible, steep turns, and obviously ground reference maneuvers get to be a handful sometimes also. No excuses though. Overall its a fun airplane, comfortable, more than adequate single engine performance, and so far has been very reliable and economical.
