Rowland and others interested in Mal Mc Lures plane,
Here is what I have in the first 4 hours of VH-KIT. This is a classic
monowheel, fitted with a 914, an inflight adjustable Warp drive prop, and the
speed kit.
Test flying was performed on a less than desirable 36-38 degree day at sea
level, and the program conducted at 4000' with an OAT of 30 degrees.
100% power / 5400 RPM / 34"MP / 22-23 LPH / 140 kts CAS / GPS 156-160 kts
/ " 136 "
/ " 120 "
With a prevailing tailwind, a big one, the GPS at VNE read 210
knots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Has anyone indicated faster??)
