Expect 65-70 mph cruise at 2100 rpm (Does that sound right, Dan?)


I am very modern and use knots. I figure 60. Two knuckles on the chart
is 10 nm = 10 minutes

Except that it never works out that way. Yesterday going up to Lake
Winnipesaukee it was 50 knots over the ground northbound, 75 knots
southbound. Yet KPSM was saying winds variable.

all the best -- Dan Ford
