Budget Retracts - Anyone own a Sierra or Comanche 180?
It is broader and roomier than an Arrow. That interior space comes with a
penalty. I also do not believe an Arrow will get 140kts at 75% wrote in message news:t3UGf.12957$j07.2997@trnddc04... On 9-Feb-2006, "pgbnh" wrote: Speed - not real fast. Zero wind is probably about 115kts. Is that at 75%? If so, it's about 25 kts slower than an Arrow which uses essentially the same engine (Lyc IO-360). Slower than an Archer with 20 fewer horses and fixed gear. That's pretty ugly! Are you sure you're remembering to raise the gear? -- -Elliott Drucker
