Hi Jesse,
What was your RPM at 180 mph? I think vne is 212 mph, I haven't looked
at that no. on the airspeed in a while, so correct me if that isn't
right. What altitude were you with the 180 mph indicated?
My max IAS is 195 mph @ 2800 rpm @ 3000' msl, my airport is 1400'. I
remember you are out of Denver, so I guessing you were a bit higher.
I took a demo ride with Rich at Merced in 93 and he did a low pass down
the runway indicating 195/200 mph. I don't know how accurate his
indicator was.

Man do I ever know about maneuvering speed. I have the 0-320 Lyc. in
my two place and those little short wings just don't ride the bumps very
well. I have hit rough air and cracked my head on the ceiling several
times before I could get it slowed down. I have tested my wings several
times trying to run my engine wide open and couldn't shut it down fast
enough. I can indicate 180 mph full throttle and I believe that is
about the limit I want to see. Is anybody else consisently doing more?

Agreed Sott.
All moment arms come into play - that's why weight distribution
(weight as a force) is so important. With the big 360 up front you know
about that.
Bottom line - slow down when the air gets turbulent, and then slow
down even more if airframe weight distribution is not as good as it
could be.
Regards,
Alfred

Hi Alfred,
Sounds like it should be a great trip - keep us posted when you get going.
I am looking for a partially completed Glasair III or a Lancair 360 as my
next project. Maybe I should look at the one in Windhoek :))
Regards,
John

Make sure you sit in a lancair 360 before you buy a project.- I've heard
they are tiny inside.
