Dear Steve,
I would recommend the arplast PV-50.
Last time I looked it was cheaper,lighter and came with more extras than
the alternatives.
On G-BWRO (912 ul 80hp classic mono) it has made a huge difference in takeoff
performance, a moderate difference in cruise speed and has also made the
aircraft significantly easier to slow down on downwind. I cruise at 4600
rpm at around 125kts in still air sipping 13 litres/hr.
BTW I made Bodmin (Cornwall) to Beverley (E.Yorks) in 1 hour 50mins recently
cruising at up to 160kts ground speed (tailwind helped a bit). Who needs
the eclipse jet when you fly a europa!
Cheers,
James McDiarmid
