Takeoff

  • Flaps down 10 degrees.
  • Apply 100% Engine RPM While accelerating raise the tail.
  • Be prepared to use Rudder to counteract Swing.

Climb and cruise

  • The plane picks up speed fast so be sure to raise Flaps below 80 kts.
  • The best climb speed is 80-90 kts.
  • Cruise Power is at 90% Engine RPM.

Landing

  • Lower Flaps under 80 kts and set Prop to Max RPM.
  • Approach Speed is 60-70 kts.
  • Approach the threshold with 60 kts.
  • Don't reduce power too early as the idle prop acts as effective speed brake.
