Well, I'm getting close to first flight (inspector is due here tomorrow) and am
trying to get some idea of various speeds to expect. I'e checked the Maronics
archives and found a suggestion that 100 mph is good for climb, flaps can be
lowered at 100 also, final approach is 70-75mph.
I got these numbers from Rick's posts describing his first flight. Are these pretty
much what everyone else uses?
Of course, the actual numbers I see will likely be different due to different pitot
and static systems, so I will have to determine these for myself. I'm just
looking for 'ballpark' stuff now.
Thanks for the help.

Bill, a few suggestions. 100 for climb out is a little slow unless you want to
gain altitude in a hurry. You will be climing at about 1500 fpm and won't be able
to see over the nose, try 125-140mph. I use 110mph for flap speed. Start out
your approach speeds no lower than 80 mph untill you get the feel of things,
it is easy to get in a sink mode at 70. This is my suggestion only, others may
differ. Jim C
