VA 80?

 

Can it actually go this fast at a constant height? I remember when I was learning to fly in one, we had 60-65 cruise. And it didn't get much better.

With the original timber prop they were only really good for around 70-75 knots at best. Anything better would come from a carbon / glass prop.

 

Mine was about a 72 knot machine and was pretty consistent with the 2 blade timber.

 

At a few more RPM I could get nearer 80.

Hi Kev, If speed isn't an important criteria, how about a Lightwing (tail-dragger). I haven't flown one but have looked into the clubs example and the cockpit looks pretty roomy when compared to the Jabiru. Doug

Looked at a Skyfox and Gazelle today. Must have looked decidedly funny, but I did sit in it. No point in going further, and thanks to Graham for his efforts.

 

Have to look at a Lightwing, but the field appears to be narrowing fast!
