Hey Jay: I have not flown an Alon with the 0-200, however, in our 415 -D, it was possible to overs peed the engine with a 69-48 prop. I could even over speed it in the 415 at altitudes over 6500' with a 69-50. I found the performance about the same as the C-85 except for the climb rate which was better as well as the service ceiling which was about 13 - 14000 with the 0-200.

I am hopefully very close to receiving the final paperwork I need before putting my 1965 Alon project back in the air. I am curious about what sort of performance to expect from this plane. It has the O-200 with a McCauley 69-48 prop. If any of you are flying something similar I would enjoy hearing about cruise speeds, climb rates, fuel burn, etc. Also, I have a set of wheel pants that I have not installed yet. Would like to have opinions as to whether they are beneficial when compared to the extra weight. Thanks! Jay ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
