170 is pretty good...

The ability to climb higher is even better...

This opens up the sport of modern day sailing...

Really taking in a good tail wind...

Johnathan Paul planned his super long cross countries sewing monster seasonal tail Winds together... to actually cross the country...

Not that JP had a TN... but Modern day sailing is in!  TNs in the right hands have a giant return on their investment...

PP thoughts only, not a TN’d sailor... unfortunately... :)

Best regards,

I love the video clip. Solid IMC and none of the needles are moving. Nicely done! I agree with you on not wanting to hurt the engine while learning LOP operations. One thing I learned is that onc

I’ve done a bunch of 3 and 4 way speed runs using ground speed to solve for TAS. I was curious about my asi as well because I would also use my 430 from time to time just like the OP if I wanted a qui

Probably need to do some more flight testing. I have no doubt your F can do 152kts but most likely not on 7 gph without a tailwind.  My 6.5-7 gph speeds in a short body are around 145-150 mph.  Going

Did a little experiment today:

How close can my Rocket get to delivering 162 KTAS on 201 gas (201 flat out at 75% power and around 11 gph ROP (my previous '78 J with every available speed mod))?

The answer: 55% power, 26" 2200 rpm 1570 TIT, 10.7 gph LOP.  Very close on "efficiency".  But the engine isn't even trying hard, and I could reproduce that same power and IAS into the FLs....which would turn that up in TAS.  I might be close, maybe within 1 GPH,  even to @gsxrpilot and his stock 252 up high.

Surprising.  Amazing machine.

:ph34r: Rrrrrocket!
