Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:39 am Post subject: speed

< If I were a cross country enthusiast like yourself, that would be 

crawling. But since 95% of my flying is to local airports within 50 

miles, who cares if it is 65 mph or 85 mph? So I save 5 minutes? Big 

deal. I fly to fly, not get there. Besides, the ride is SO much 

smoother at 65, and the engine is SO much quieter at 5,300.>



I second that observation.  65 is a happy speed.  When I zip it up to 

75 the overall sensation

is that the airplane is unhappy.  Very tough to describe but it just 

doesn't feel right.

No doubt wing loading is the culprit as my all up weight is about 760 

lbs. solo.



BB, last ride was with no gloves.  Not smart.
