" The performance of MR (2020-02-20) Faeta is below expected norms, with both Fiti & E-prop, as to be quit concerning, although the E-prop has made significant improvement - there would seem to be problem with that aircraft." Maybe they have a calibrated ASI fitted to their aircraft so it differs from the factory spec's. (Just been a smartarse)

The "r" in the speeds is gear retracted.

How did you manage to take my post as been against Mark as the agent. I wrapped he is and will be looking into getting one in the future. Mark has posted true experiences from people who have test flowen with these props, not just taken convenient figures off some website.

Hope so

Thanks, it's a bit confusing with SD's post..... "Stall speed (two up with full flap) will vary for each model 122 Zephyr 35 knots @ 450 kg, 321 Faeta 321 28 knots @ 472.5 kg. 321 Faeta NG 33 knots @ 472.5 kg"

But not at MTOW "Faeta NG 33 knots @ 472.5 kg" What is the stall speed at 600 kg?

Google "ATC pilot logbook" On my second one.

I got 15 ?

A mate used sardine cans under the carbs with drain tubes braised on to it. Don't forget they also act as heat shields.

No change at all. The plane is on autopilot and the pilots are chatting up the hostess....

Got a quick flight in this afternoon, Thanks to Martin for the photos.

Flew the 10 nm to the farm this morning to pick up some mozzarella cheese. Looks like the wife had one or two other items she wanted. Lucky I didn't take the Drifter.

Yes just a sticker held on with Bluetac...

I understood what you meant and agree. Years ago I had a accident and people were saying I was hungover, only had lemonade the night before. People talking crap instead of just asking someone who new what happened first hand.

It is/was part of the test fight requirements.

Had a Fisher special (full acrobatic model) up to 90 knots a couple of times during test flights, it had the symmetrical wing. Wayne said to put 82 knots as VNE but you are good to go 90 knots + in good conditions.

I'd go for "d" PART 1 — DIRECTION – HOME CONFINEMENT, MOVEMENT AND GATHERING This direction applies from 11:59 pm on 2 April 2020 until the end of the declared public health emergency, unless it is revoked or replaced.

All good at 80 knots, the airflow actually pushes towards the instruments. Had heaps of bugs on final, had to clean the dead ones off after landing....

My Drifter is a certified wire braced, the photo is of the original owners manual, so 80 knots for mine.

Both wrong, 80 knots but you would need a fair bit of nose down and power on.

L Both wrong, 80 knots but you would need a fair bit of nose down and power on..

Obviously you have never used Bluetac to hold bits together on a aircraft before, just as good as duct tape and welding wire.

The sticker says just under 180 knots but it's held on with Bluetac so should be good for 82 knots. I'll go for a fly later and try it later.

Was straight and level :smile:o
