MkIII, 1.0 suzuki, two blade 70" warp.  Full throttle climb 5400,  cruise 4700/65-68 mphHaven't tried full throttle straight and level in a couple years.  Not interested because it's uncomfortable.

weight me:  about 168 today.  Getting fat

weight mkIII;  last time I weighed was over 600 lbs.  A lot of stuff has been added since.  Obese.  Amazing it gets off the ground.

Yes I would agree ASI readings are nor always reliable. I do have to admit 

that I never get too bothered with the indicated air speed, sometimes it 

agrees with the GPS and some times it dosnt .The MK111c is under 500 pounds 

so that helps , Also the numbers quoted are at ,or close to sea level with a 

3 blade wood prop {GSC . I seem to recall a 13 dec pitch when I set it 

up }503 has 350 hrs ,I have decarb twice with no sticky rings or other 

problems found , a little black goo starting to weep from the exhaust 

manifold, { due for another look at }have always used a simple mineral 2 

cycl oil, last 503 ran past 500hrs on the same oil and was still going well 

when last heard of . The performance is very good given the airframe engine 

combination. The fuel burn is about 5 US gal per hr, this can be reduced to 

4 gals if rpm is reduced to the 5700 range . Just does not feel right , 

wrong side of performance curve . Very economical at 5200 and very quiet but 

a struggle to maintain altitude, very good for extended glides, just need to 

watch the temps and give the odd burst of power to keep them in the right 

range . All in all not really a good combination for long go places flying, 

has been very good for local sightseeing

and giving rides , you tend to get a bit weary of the noise after 100 mls 

but since the South Island of New Zealand is not much wider than that and 

the Canterbury plains are only extend about 100mls in either direction thats 

not much of a worry. Has proved to be good for mountain flying with good 

performance out of gullys and OK on steep up hill strips  . Have never used 

a landing strip over 1500 ft above sea level  . Max altitute I have had the 

MK111c to is 7000 ft, really fast getting there on thermals and felt like it 

took half a day to get back down .
