Dave,

I understand you "gave up" on understanding Vx. That's unfortunate, and
could cause you grief if you ever need to climb at that speed. Vx, for all
common light aircraft, is a clean wing speed. (NO FLAPS) What is difficult
to understand about that?

Ok, I'm still confused. The O-360 engine puts out 180hp on 9gal hr. The
IO-360 puts out 200 hp on 10 gal/hr. The difference between the two is
just that that IO-360 is fuel injected. So how is it that you can say
"And slightly less fuel burn than if it had a carburetor". That
certainly doesn't seem to be the case here.

I gave up trying to get Karl to clarify anything long back with "Vx is a
clean wing". Don't try to be literal with him. He speaks in loose
metaphors and allegory.
