carusoam Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 I'm with Mike... And Cris... See you all there. Best regards, -a- Quote
201er Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Posted February 2, 2013 I'm on my way out. See ya guys soon. Good news, spring is here (even though it's 15 below) Quote
Seth Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 I unfortunately decided no on the go/no go decision today - the snow should be rolling in between 3 and 4 in western MD and the visibility and snow expected here by 4PM just made me choose to stay on the ground. I actually could have made it today! Enjoy the fly in -Seth Quote
carusoam Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Seth must have seen his shadow and ran back in his hangar. Mike & Anthony Quote
Seth Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 So that means six more weeks of winter Quote
Seth Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 And by the time I got back from the airport a few minutes ago, the flurries has started. Quote
201er Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 Alan, that's one slippery bird! It took me some effort to catch up to you. Who needs a bonanza? Hope you didn't mind me pooling a ride back with you. Quote
Alan Fox Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 I was flogging it , I was 24 square 1500 to 2500 , and when I saw you getting close to my 3 I bumped it up to 2500 rpm 24 MP...... I was surprised you didnt overtake me , you must have been at a lower power setting......I was actually going to close in to a tight formation , but I didnt know what your comfort level was and we were on with atc so I couldnt call you..... The bonanza is stupid fast , at that power setting , I would have been almost 30 + knots faster... Quote
carusoam Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 We need that formation class... Alan's E made an impressive attempt to keep up with Mike's J. Best regards, -a- Quote

The bonanza is stupid fast , at that power setting , I would have been almost 30 + knots faster... I slowed down not to overtake you on purpose. I was firewalled 2700RPM but 11gph LOP to catch up to you. Then I brought things back to about 50% power and LOP to stay with you (about 2200RPM/24" 7gph). Quote
