'I would not hesitate to fly out in the west with our F24. However; we have
the 220 Continental on it. I bought our Meyers OTW in SW Nevada (Sandy
Valley) almost 5 years ago and flew it back to Kansas. OTW has a 160 hp
Kinner and I basically flew back using I40 to US54 to Newton, KS. I would
NOT recommend flying in the western deserts in light planes in the Spring
when the winds are high-! It too me 3 days to fly the Meyers to Newton in
2001. Winds were gusting to 50 mph at Gallup, NM, when I landed there. Most
airport folks don't know anything about wing walkers anymore either so be
careful out there you all-!
My plan is to fly to Washington state across Wyoming, SE CO, Western Kansas,
Idaho in the Spring of 2006. Will take a route thence down to California and
maybe back the Southern Route eventually going through Phoenix, AZ, and back
I40 to Kansas.
you all fly safe out there now ya here-!

Ranger superchargers........
They can be found on the V-770 but not the 6-440.
It's not certified with superchargers.
