What surgery??

And the MiniMax grosses out at 252 pounds - wet with overweight pilot!! > Just wait til you get into the first ground loop situation after > landing! That's a lot of fun, too. They used to call me "wing-tip for > sure Cline". > Not looking forward to that experience.... that's why I want to learn to control it before take off, first <]:¬) I guess it CAN be done...just have to work up on it slowly and not push the envelope (mine) too severely...
