--> Stratus-List message posted by: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" <frank.hinde@hp.com>
Its flying at 60mph but I usually hold the nose down (in ground effect)
till 70mph which seems to be about Vy.
For really short fields I use about 65mph.
My landing approach I make at 75 to 80mph
Short fields about 70mph...Definate effort to hold the nose up on
landing

Stratus 601 HDS...Nose heavy.

Sorry to ask this but I scoured the archives and couldn't find the
numbers Im looking for. Im sure others may find this useful down the
road as well.
In a 601 HDS (I have stratus) What are people using for :
- Rotation Speed on takeoff (and I noticed in the archives back
elevator is required or no liftoff regardless of speed)
- Downwind Leg
- Base Leg
- Final
- Touchdown
Please specify if your using MPH or KTS.
Im finalizing my flight test plan and want to have these numbers in
there.
Thanks!!!

--> Stratus-List message posted by: Andrew SanClemente <ansancle@townisp.com>
I just ordered a new intake manifold from Ram that eliminates the
dual bing carbs (which I hate).
Ron has several new products including a fuel injection system witha
direct fire ignition that sounds very slick. That system would
require me to pull my heads and ship them back to have injectors put
in, replace all fuel lines with high pressure lines, and add return
lines to the tanks - way more work than I wanted to deal with.
I ended up ordering the new intake manifold with the AeroV throttle
body. It eliminates all that hose that snakes around the top of the
engine, eliminates the dual carb issue, and eliminates the uneven
mixtures from cylinder to cylinder caused by the current intakes and
carbs. For mixture adjustment, you use a knob like in every other
spam can, controllable from the cockpit.
It should arrive in about 3 weeks, Ill let you all know how it works
out.

Cool,
Ron is a very talented and innovative individual and I wish we could get
the word out to push more work his way. On the stepped valve guide issue
he was the ONLY engine guy that could make a set of stepped valve guides
with no problem and understood how to heat freeze them into the heads
the way they should be.
Thanks to Ron I'm finally relaxed knowing my engine is not looking for a
place to kill me!

Frank,
he has some VERY cool stuff out. Its too bad either I wasn't about 1
year slower or him one year faster. I would have bought my engine
directly from him - injection, direct fire ignition, cockpit
controlled timing and mixture via rheostat - slick. I told him that I
would really start to push him after I get the install done and can
speak from first hand experience. He said that he still isn't quite
ready to manufacture a large number but is working in that direction.
Very smart and nice guy
Andy

Andy,
I heard that the Aero V carb doesn't work well under pressure. It's made
for gravity feed I think. I don't know what I'm talking about but you might
want to look into that.
Keep in mind that one of the best things about the Stratus is that it's a
pretty well-proven package as-is. The more you change, the more risk you
take (except for the valve guides - beat you to it Frank, and the upper
right engine mount). Never heard of the dual carbs causing much of a
problem, and there are lots of high-time Stratus's running with slightly
unbalanced cylinders due to the intake. Not perfect, but pretty darn good,
simple and cheap. Of course, I'm still thinking of upgrading because I'd
like 130-140HP, but I think I'd leave the Stratus as-is until I buy all new
as another package. Better resale that way too.
Anyone know anyone flying with a full-up RAM engine?
Gary
