I'm guessing that it belongs to either Jim, Dick or Earl. Either way, if you were at the open house, are missing a wall charger AND for some reason you may have been in the back of my truck then give me a call and I'll send it out to you. Have a great day!!

Eastern Daylight Time, waynelenox@juno.com writes: I thought Vx was the speed I would use to clear a 50 ft Obstacle at the end of departure runway. I am sure you will enlighten me. I just get a higher climb rate at or near 100 MPH. I will have another look when I get back in N123WL. I tried different glide speeds and I think N123WL will travel farther at 75MPH with out power then at 85. It's more like a glider!! Wayne, Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but we were pretty busy at SYI and now that I am home I am graphing out all the performance data on the new wing tips and starting on the next Lightning newsletter. You are absolutely right, Vx is the speed you would use to clear obstacles at the end of the runway and is your best angle of climb. And it is different from Vy which gives you the best climb rate. Basically, Vx works out to 87 mph and Vy is 93 mph with the new tips. As to best glide, our data for the new tips indicates that with flaps up you can go travel farther at 85 mph (2.5 miles per 1000 feet of altitude loss) than you can at any other speed. For flaps at 30 degrees you should fly 73 mph and that will get you 2.4 miles for each 1000 feet of altitude lost. However, if you are interested in just staying in the air, then slower is certainly better for max time airborn for each 1000 feet of altitude - get just above the stall for max loiter time. I will soon have all the data ready to publish and will post it on the list or in the newsletter soon. Sorry you and Nell didn't get to make it to SYI this past weekend. We all had a great time.
