Guys,
What are your Vx, Vy, and best glide speeds? My Kiftox II is 15 years
old and I=99m doing maintenance on it at home during the winter
months here in MN. I=99m thinking of re-calibrating these values
next spring...
Thanks,
Joe Connell

I've got Vx = 53 MIAS, Vy = 57 MIAS, and Vbg = 55 MIAS, with a glide of
600'/NM. Note that rate of descent keeps improving right to stall.
