![]() "Jay" a écrit dans le message de om... Thats a great example of the trade off of payload vs. speed. What about any aircraft with a 100kt+ cruise that meet the 2-1 gross-empty ratio? An what about the Ban-Bi and MCR 150kt cruise and 2/1 empty ratio ? Have a look at http://www.ban-bi.com/ We're just completing an MCR4S four seater and are expecting 140 kt cruise and just 2/1 gross empty ratio on a 100/115 hp Rotax 914.

Regards, Gilles Thesee How many of these are flying? What is it's rate of climb and ceiling at gross? Anyone else think that sounds like a lot to expect out of 115 HP ? -- Jim in NC |

![]() We're just completing an MCR4S four seater and are expecting 140 kt cruise and just 2/1 gross empty ratio on a 100/115 hp Rotax 914. Regards, Gilles Thesee How many of these are flying? At the moment about 20 four seaters are flying, powered by Rotaxes 912S or 914. One is flying with a Jabiru 3300. What is it's rate of climb and ceiling at gross? It depends on the power unit. With the 100 hp continuous 914, the prototype achieves 700/800 ft/min at maximum takeoff weight. Since the engine is turbocharged the rate of climb stays rather constant up to critical altitude. The normally aspirated 80 hp Rotax 912 MCR01 two seaters routinely climb up to 17000 ft over the Mont Blanc. Our empty weight is expected to be around 375 kg for 750 kg max gross weight. Anyone else think that sounds like a lot to expect out of 115 HP ? Indeed Piper and Cessna pilots SHOULD find that quit a lot ! But the MCRs are very light and aerodynamically clean.

Gilles,
I'd love to see pics of your project. I used to fly a Dimona Katana with a 912 and it was awesome. Relatively fast (135 KTS), good climb (700FPM) and very nice view! Only problem is this airplane gets passed around among FBO's around here and I'm tired of paying to check out in it over and over again. Thanks Bart P.S. You can see pics of my project below! -- Bart D.
