Hi David, I think the prop (broad blades)is quite okay for the job as it's easy capable of holding 5500RPM at full throttle. The 914 delivers 100HP (MCP) up to 16000ft. Why fly up there? Well, it's m
Is there a reason you are reporting Kias? TAS is a more rational measurement for those altitudes for performance and comparison. Remember KIAS falls with altitude and TAS increases -- Ira N224XS Read
Hello Ira, my setup is still lacking an OAT-gauge, thus no TAS-indication on the EFIS. KIAS is just what I read on the ASI. 105 KIAS result in about 148 KTAS at 20500 ft DA. A fuelburn of 5,5 GPH pre
Hello Bud - and thank you for the Evaluation with 12AY! These figures show in my opinion, that my Europa performs quite okay (I also have the speed kit, however I guess my bird is not as aerodynamica
Roland, We often fly at 12K ft in our mono-wheel. We see about 130 - 140 kts ias at 70% power (30.5 in Hg, 5000 rpm). Our experience has shown there are three important factors for higher altitude fl
Jim and Heather, 130-140KIAS is not achievable with the Trigear. As I wrote I see 130KIAS at 100% (MCP) @10000ft, me alone on board. I have the impression, that the Trigear is not at all comparable w
