Its from G-IINI #90360. The TAS are calculated by the method shown at http://www.kilohotel.com/rv8/rvlinks/ssec.html . In summary each run is three runs to work out the wind effect, with data recorded from the GPS. The prop is a two blade c/s electric MT. Our flight testing showed that at 74.7% power, 8000feet we were doing 184mph (or 160Knts). Since VANS quote 172mph on 135 hp and 186mph on 160 at 75% I feel G-IINI is performing as advertised. Keep riveting, Steve. #90360, G-IINI PS Gus my performance issues are all about ASI errors which I have not yet sorted. I am very suspicious of the drain holes in the Dynon pitot head. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:19:59 AM PST US From: Nigel Goad Subject: RV9-List: Hangar rental --> RV9-List message posted by: Nigel Goad My quickbuild fuselage and wings have arrived, I need a rough idea as to the amount of working hours until the wings are final attached so I can sort out timing for hangar rental.
