Ned Gravel Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 So I picked up C-FSWR from Brant Aero where my new PS 8000B has made communicating with my Narco radios a pleasure. Little test flight to Waterloo to drop the tech log entries at Tri-City where Clarence will put them in the appropriate log. All works great. Little bumpy between 2000' and 3000' but I am looking forward to a 25 knot tailwind for the upcoming flight back to Rockcliffe near Ottawa. Wheels up from Waterloo at 12:51 pm. Climb to 7000'. Drop the mixture back through 50 LOP and settle into a GREAT ground speed. Spent most of the next hour and 20 minutes enjoying 180 kts on 150 mph IAS. Unsupported claim? I think not. See http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CFSWR/history/20111125/1800Z/CYKF/CYND/tracklog. Just how capable is my Mooney? Well, after the real C-FSWR landed in Rockcliffe (14:19 local), a ghost C-FSWR climbed to 34000' and made 400 kts g/s out to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and partially back. Who knew?

mooneym20d Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 WOW! Look at the climb and descent rate! That has F-15 written all over it. Good for you!
jlunseth Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Hmmh. I would say maybe you had a shadow not visible until you landed. So what did you do to deserve that?
