Hm.. I've owned a couple of Tigers, I'd get about 135KTAS on the
average. I thought the Arrow would be closer to 150 KTAS?


The Arrows I've flown generally cruise at about 135kts.


I guess I haven't missed much!


My Skylane cruises at 135 KTAS also, on about 13-14 GPH. The Tiger did
it on about 9.5 GPH, I sure do miss those fuel flows...


I get 135 knots -calibrated- at 9.2 gallons on my 200hp Arrow. (That's
running lean of peak, GAMIs and EI engine analyzer, so it's going to take
me a while to pay off the equipment with the fuel savings. I was using
11GPH prior to the upgrade.)
