> Hello All,
>
> I'm the proud new owner of N467DK, a 1995 Glasair I RG. Flew it back from
Phoenix last Friday - WOW what performance. Admittedly I did have some
tailwind but I never saw less than 200 KTS GS and sometimes as high as 230
KTS. Even with 3 stops (had to make a couple of side trips), total flying
time was 7.3 (Hobbs) hours - that's 162 KTS average speed including stops!
>
> By my calculations, I was doing right at 180 KTAS at 11,500'M using 2500
RPM and WOT (about 20" MP) and 8.5 GPH - this blows the socks off my
Mooney's (previous aircraft) performance.
>
> Appreciate any tips/suggestions/help the list can provide - specifically,
I'm looking for builers/owners in the St. Louis, MO area and a good
composite finish/paint shop in the area.

> Happy Holiays,
