I think the answer is Yes

36:1 is Std Cirrus or Libelle performance & allows
an average to good pilot on an average to good (UK)
Summers day to fly 300k

The PW5, with not much more than K6e performance needs
either an excellent pilot, or an excellent day to fly
the same distance. (And the same pilot or the same
day would result in a 500 in the Cirrus or Libelle!)


Is even 36:1 enough to satisfy naysayers?

I think the answer is no. I think those who don't
want
to fly the PW-5 simply won't accept anything with fixed
gear, and/or find it absurd to fly a retract with the
gear safety wired down...
