"Mike Noel" wrote in message ...
Just to tie up some of the original question, the 74 Archer ended up costing 50K (3000 TTAF, 1000 SMOH, basic IFR, 7/7). I'll probably be asking a lot of advice as I learn my way around living with an airplane. Full standard limits insurance coverage from USAIG was $980. Congratulations Um, now you'll have to educate me. I have insurance with USAIG, but I have no idea what "full standard limits insurance coverage" might be. Coverage limit per incident? Per passenger? Deductable? etc? Cheers, Sydney |

If I remember correctly (I haven't received the paper-work from the broker
yet), it was 1M liability, 100K per passenger, and hull coverage with no deductible. I guess 'standard' was not a good word to use. -- Mike in Tucson (AVQ) Archer N54405 "Snowbird" wrote in message om... "Mike Noel" wrote in message ...

On a trip back to the Bay Area from Las Vegas this past June, I got my
'77 Archer up to 17,000 going over the sierras just south of Mt. Whitney. The climb over the desert was tough and slow. The temperature out of Las Vegas was around 110F. Anyone know what % power I was running up there? Mike Hammock wrote in message ... I frequently take out 78 Archer II to 10-11,000 ft. Not for short trips, of course, but for 300+ miles and if the winds are reasonable, it works well. Gets me that much above the low level clouds and turblance. I'm only climbing about 250-300 fpm torward the end, but no controller has complained.

A typical Archer should do about 150mph (130kts) wide open throttle at 8000ft DA. Btw, how do you guys get that high with a non-aspirated and not-so-powerful engine? Do you do it even with full load? (it seems that all Americans fly Archers at about 10k ft... I'm interetested in what kind of airspeed/fpm you use and how do you lean in climb? I don't usually go higher than 7000-8000 ft (with full load) and that is difficult enough in my opinion I try to maintain at least 300fpm all the way, with airspeed 80kts and leaning gradually after 5000ft.

Everyone, thanks for the climb performance comments even though it was
off-topic! (and sorry for that) Very useful information indeed. Best regards, Lasse |
