Hi Ira
Thx. for the reply.
As far as altitude
ceiling I was thinking there may be some limit on something that may
perhaps expand and give problems with airframe?? Extra dosage of UV that
paint may not be able to effectively block? Something unique to long wings
that is not happy at very high altitude? For certain the bags of potato
chips in the cockpit will expire before the airframe does from lower
pressure at altitude. Perhaps with 914 that still has the ability to make
some BTUs at altitude compared to a richer running normally aspirated
912S, something under the cowl over temps due to the lesser amount
of air molecules in the same volumetric flow?
I have a stock
914 except for intercooler and ability to lean, I would imagine with long
wings, Airmaster andleaned, FL210 is attainable? If wave assisted
much higher.
