Coupers: I've never get the speed from my coupe that everyone else seems to get.
I've tried changing the trim, not a big help.
Increased RPMs to about 2350 rpm. Could go with more but don't
think that would be wise. Even wide open I get only about 90.
Have verified my Air Speed Indicator using a GPS and
this seems to work fine.
I do have a climb prop.
The best speed I can get on a level flight is 85.
I have got 105 in a deep dive.
I'm beginning to believe that the speed I've been quoted
is like gas mileage on a car.
"It's mostly wishful thinking."
So my questions are:
Can a coupe really do 100?
If so, what am I missing? What else should I try?
Is it the climb prop, trim, rpms, technique?
