Oh by the way. He even used the same color scheme.

Extra 300

@@levijustin1743 Say what?

@rq9551 Absolutely!! Mine has a Sensenich ground adjustable set to fine pitch. It gets off short and climbs very well. Too much fun. She loves to fly low and slow

Which Pin # setting are you using

​@rq9551 Thats a good point. My A&P set it for me. Will find out for you. Airspeed is about 78 knots at 2500 rpm. Prop is the current Sensenich model. I did have an older model fitted but it perfromed poorly at fine pitch. The latest version has slightly curved tips and is more efficient - Pulls noticeably harder. I keep my plane in a flight school where I am one of the instructors. I like it set slow (climb) for safety of students. Plenty of climb if they need to go around.. Average climb is about 750 ft/min @ 52 knots with 2 people, a bit less on high DA days (around 500 ish)

@@Coops777 Thanks, I forgot about that, I’ll change it.

Which Pin # do you run every day.... Cruise....climb ?

I agree with you, I would have loved to have gotten the takeoff and landing, but it was an airshow and we couldn't see them takeoff and land from the show line. Maybe someday, I can get there when they are flying and it's not fenced off.

@@horsemoney That is a shame, the airshow people need to set aside a "press/camera" enclosure for the 'affectionadoes'. To give an example: I had a friend who flew the Tri-plane in his stocking feet to get a better feel on the rudder bar. It was that touchy. Having flown some of these older aeroplanes, the landings are a whole new facet of aviation. Good thing we invented the Spam-Cans. Cheers.
