Default slow 172

i cant wait to get my rv done, i rented a 172 today from the local FBO for a 650mn round trip and this thing was so slow, 90kts was the average speed, 100kts there and 80kts back, the whole time i was dreaming of RVs, oh yah i forgot to tell you the transponder and radio only wanted to work part time. just thought i would share my day

It's still flying, even if it's 90 knots. BUT...OUCH!! It looks like I'll be battling 50 knot headwinds tomorrow & I'll still have about 125knot ground speeds. You can ask Rosie about Cessna flying while building an RV...gotta fly whatever you have access to!
