Hi Guys,
I have just flown off the mandatory 25 hours in my EX 0041 and now have a full C of A, can carry a passenger as well as going anywhere. I have seen over the first 25 hours solo at 2250 rpm (50% power) 6.5 galls/hour and 95mph. I thought this was OK until I took my first passenger, he weighs about 220 lbs, at the same numbers 2250 rpm I am seeing 105mph.
Has anyone else seen the same thing (80" X 50" prop) Is to a W & B thing that the trim when solo is causing more drag.
Also what is that white stuff tat I see on the forum photo's, 90 deg.F here today, Melbourne Australia. (couldn't resist that.
Regards Bruce Thomas
