Dale, I've done some cruising and some puttering around at 75-80 mph. The nose does come up in the air some, but fuel consumption goes way down and gas mileage goes way up. If you can refrain from drinking fluids before and during the trip (and avoid dehydration), you can go a LOT of miles at those speeds and save time by avoiding a descent, fuel-stop and climb cycle. I made two fuel stops from Iowa to Connecticut up high using the tailwind. Ed Burkhead Never forget: What the terrorsists tried to do was kill 50,000 people who had nothing to do with their conflict!

I still have not bought a Coupe yet. Just looking for the right deal. Anyway, I have a question about cruise speed. I have read that most coupes cruise around 100 to 110 mph. My question is, since they dont have flaps, how slow can you comfortably fly them at? I'm talking comfortably & safely, ie...not hanging on the prop. You know just leisurely on a cruise with no place to go and no time frame to get there. Thanks for any reply's.
