At 9000 and 90 smph indicated I was still showing a solid 500 fpm climb rate
.............................................. 90 INDICATED at 9,000'- Isssssshh. Not sure what the OAT is like this time of the year, but that's talking Bud. That's better than a C150 flat out S&L at SL - and the KR does it in a 500 fpm climb with less than 50% power available (at 9 grand). ............................................. I want to start flying with weight to simulate a passenger this week. ............................................. It is going to be interesting Larry - just be careful. As suggested by John (from Oz) - the wheels may be contributing to the requirement for some up trim in the cruise. I guess you will get around to some wheel spats (pants) in time - will be interesting to see if this makes a perceptible difference. Pity about the Tripe, but I know what you are saying. Steve J
