I have Flightgear 1.9.1 installed in Arch Linux. I tried to follow the
Seneca II howto from
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Seneca_II_HOWTO , but I saw some
weirdness in performance.

I chose the cold start and started the engines as said in the checklist.
I took off with 40" manifold and maximum mixture and throttle. After
raising the gear and accelerating to 100kts (31"/2500) the plane still
gained altitude but slower than I'd expected; 100-300 feets per second.
With the first run I wasn't alarmed by the slow rate of climb but after
seeing it repeated I decided to write this message.

After leveling at 2000ft with 28"/2400RPM I expected to have 130 kts as
stated by the howto, but instead I got 80 kts which is near the
stall-speed.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this the expected performance?
