Does anyone have any performance data for specific Density Altitudes.  I 

know it would be aircraft specific but it would be useful as a WAG.



I have been using a KOCH chart.



Anyway I'm 180 HP with a cruise prop.  But any data for other props might be 

useful.



Thanks

I would appreciate any data available for RV10. 

Also, a few of us in Birmingham, AL are planning a west coast trip......Aug 30 thru Sept. 14. Probably go out via a northern route and down the west coast and return via southern route. Want to hit the high spots, experience the back country grass strips, Leadville, CO. Grand Canyon, etc, etc. Glad to have anyone join the gaggle. I remember seeing past post when some of you went west. Would appreciate any input regarding gas stops, food stops, fun places, mountain flying, RON accomodations, etc, etc. 

 Thanks,

Hey Doug,

  

 I just finished my 7A a few months ago and we live in NC (5W5).  We've got about 80hrs on her so far and been as far as Key West.  I think she's about ready for a real "cross country" now. 

  

 My wife and I were talking about taking this same/similar trip in our RV-7A during the fall sometime.  No real plans yet, but we've tossed around some ideas about yellowstone, grand canyon, camping in Idaho, Mt. Rushmore, Oregon coast camping, etc.  I'm not sure if our scedules will match up, but we would be interested in possibly joining the gaggle for at least part of the trip.  Do you have an email list or similar way to discuss the plans?  If so, my email is gvouga(at)gmail.com (gvouga(at)gmail.com).  I would appreciate joining the info loop.

Hi Greg. Good to hear from u. We would be glad to have u join the gaggle for all or any portion of the trip. The more the better. We are interested in the same places. Don't know that any of us are campers....partly due to having to carry all the gear. Presently we are just using individual email. Maybe the rvsoutheast list would be a suitable link of communication. I am computer stupid so open for suggestions. I will definately keep u informed regardless.

 My numbers are.....H-205-823-2955  C-205-873-2955. I fly corporate so sometimes a bit hard to reach. Voice mail is always available. Enjoy the RV and hope ya'll can join us.

Regards,

Doug

Cappy -



Do any of the seven RV's have APRS tracking?  It would be fun to watch the excellent adventure unfold......

I have one you may borrow for the trip.  Seriously.  It's a spare 300mW unit with its own GPS.  All you add is ship's power.

Thanks for the offer Stormy but I'm out of time.   No time to get  it and hook it up.  

 Sorry you are not going.  We will all miss you and Miriam.
