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, > Reggie Smith > >
