Kiev prop

[catz631]

Steve,
My cruise speed both with the Warp and Kiev is about 88 mph @ 5000 rpm.Max cruise @ 5500 is about 100.
I would sure prefer the shorter wings as you have. These long wings are a pain in the hot turbulent air we have here.It can sure be a rough ride much worse than the Pacer I used to own. Sometimes I feel like a cork riding on the water. I have thought of shorting then but don't know I want to go thru the hassle. Comes a point when you have to accept things the way that they are (such as this horrible oil spill I have in my back yard !)
And wether I go fast or go slow I still have to look at the same old crappy flat landscape. I envy the beautiful country you get to see.
I used to take my Pacer up to my cabin in the NC mountains but havent been there in the Kitfox yet. I am still trying to find a part time hanger there as I don't want to leave it outside. Not any available.
Any way ,I digress
Take care !

I'm really spoiled to what I have here. Great weather (well not today) and great variety of landscapes. Must be why I fly between 300-400 hrs a years.
