Gone Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Oh my very good friend Houman: Someday you will be in the Caravan and possibly even an element Lead. And I would be proud to be your wingman. Then you could see how my nimble little E would jump off the runway some 300 feet before your Rocket and perhaps understand more of my situation. There was a video of a Bonanza (6 cylinders) filming an E model takeoff and the E model pilot could not keep his on the runway beyond a certain speed, while the Bo was not getting airborne yet. Can't find it now, but here is another one. See https://youtu.be/dACFIVHW_uA Your heavier Rocket is like the Bo. Faster at climbing and at altitude. Go for it. I like my E. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 That looked for all the world like an F. Your E should be off the ground sooner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yup. Very true Hank. Wish I could remember where I saw the other one.

carusoam Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think that was an AOPA video. The E wants to get started... The 10% bump (180 to 200hp) shows up in the race from 0 to T/O speed. Similar experience going from 280 to 310hp on a LB. Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
