----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Greg,
before I sold my 415C with a C85 I would wash it weekly and wax it about twice a month. When the weather was cool and in no wind I could get 120 mph cruise out of it straight and level at 2500 feet. This was full throttle of course, at about 2575 rpm. I too could verify by my GPS. This also was with no passenger. The passenger's weight would knock off 10 mph easily. jan zanutto Fresno, ca On Sun, 20 Aug 2000 16:22:38 -0700 Greg Bullough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following > any advice in this forum.]---- > What are other people's experiences of the effects of a good > de-bugging and > wax-job? > > I seem to have gained nearly 10MPH in cruise (canopy open), > corroborated > by GPS and another plane in formation flight.
