Does anyone have some realistic cruise numbers they could share? M14
or Lyc. Float or wheels.
How about on the low end? Anyone flying with cuffs or vg's yet?
Thank you,
BS

with gps, are these true airspeeds?
Thanks

Yes, I'm taking average true airspeed. I flight-plan 110K and usually
fly ~ 16gph, depending on how close to gross I am. Those #'s work well
for me (about 215 hrs in the Moose so far). I pull the prop back to
1330 prop rpm (some folks use engine rpm) and then ajust manifold press
for gph.

It will be interesting to compare a V530 prop to your three blade Hatzell
Ted. Anybody on here yet with a two blade or the MT on wheels to compare?

Doesn't the guy that is featured on the Murphy homepage indicate a
3-blade MT? Seems that he has the Lycoming engine though.

He claims a 143 mph cruise; different cowling profile might get him
going that fast.
