I have been flying quite a lot (for me at least) We have had great weather on the weekends and I have been taking advantage of all of them. I have now logged 8.1 hours of flight time and everything is going well. I have completed climb performance, descent performance at 2,000 Ft Hp, I have also completed Level Flight Performance at 2 and 4,000 ft Hp. As for aerobatics I have completed roll performance and quite a lot of maneuvers; Loop, rolls, Half, full and reverse have cuban eights, Hammer heads, 2/4, 3/4 and full vertical up and down rolls, and Stalls. The following are my results so far:
Stall Speed: 63 Mph (The stall is completely straight with no roll off)
Vy @ 2,000 ft Hp: 2,812 ft/min at 114 mph
Vx @ 2,000 ft Hp: 84 mph at 20 deg flight path angle
Best Glide @ 2,000 ft Hp: 96 mph with 7.7:1 glide ratio
Vmin Rate of Descent at 2,000 ft Hp: 90 mph at 1,050 ft/min
Max Endurance at 2,000 ft : 5.4 hours at 85 mph
Max Endurance at 4,000 ft Hp: 5.6 hours at 90 mph
Max Range No reserve @ 2,000 ft Hp: 450 Miles at 92 mph
Max Range No reserve @ 4,000 ft Hp: 530 Miles at 103 mph
Here are the results for the aerobatics in this video, although it is sloppy aerobatics it was nice to flop the plane around for the first time.
Beautiful plane and video! Nice specs I didn’t see what engine though… IO-360 180hp I assume?
Yes It is a Superior Air Parts XP-IO-360 180HP. In the “The Aircraft” Tab there is a listing of all the modifications and or specs on the plane.
