aaronk25 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 I fly a boat when I’m not in the Mooney.....but hey is got “twins” at 210hp a side. Each one of the boat engines is similar in HP to the m20j. The 201 turns 142ish Kts on 8gph, the 10,000lb searay runs about 25kts.....on 8gph........oh wait, there is 2 engines turning on the boat to go 25kts, correction 16 gallons per hour to go 25kts.......But .....hey I can have a drink on the boat .Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote
rainman Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 I fly this AutoGyro Calidus. It’s a blast. ADS-B in/out, Dynon Skyview . If I’m not in a hurry, and flying solo less than a couple hundred miles VFR it’s my usual ride. It’s a tandem two seater so my brother can fly with me. 4 Quote

Solo it takes about 300 ft to break ground, double that with a passenger or to clear 50 ft obstacle. 0-20 ft rolls on landing are pretty common. Remember, no vertical take offs, no hovering, no negative G maneuvers. Great for that solo burger mission! Ray 1 Quote

If the G-IV isn't being flown on charter or family trips it means that 4-8 grown adults don't get the "pleasure" of sitting in the small couch seats. Quote
