So, why is the descent rate for the Eurofox so high?

The Eurofox using the 912 rotax is liquid cooled and not subject to shock cooling like the Pawnee. After glider release and reducing the rpm to 4000rpm and a speed of 95knt decent rate for the Eurofox is around 2000ft/min.

 

 

Hi Frank, Welcome. Interesting to note your date joined was in 2013, but your first post was yesterday. Been hiding behind a cloud? Don't be shy, we don't bite, well not often anyway.

Peter, yes I have been hiding behind a cloud of personal stuff that keeped me away from doing the stuff I like. The "cloud" as now dispersed and here I am.

Cheers

Hi and welcome Frank I recently purchased a LSA 55. I agree, they are a great and mighty aircraft! How do you find it?
