(16.7Yes - 80 mph CAS is about the lower limit for reflex and I think
most
rebels experience that. Certainly mine and John Petersons were
similar.
At higher altitudes like above 4000', 80 mph CAS requires more
than 2350
rpm on an O320. At sea level, 80 mph is still a low rpm exercise.

low as 5 US gph. At some point, though, as I slow down, the nose
starts to rise, and I have to put it into neutral. I immediately
lose a few mph then, and have to increase throttle to maintain
speed. It may be that the VGs help here, too. Can't remember,
though, how slow I could go in reflex before I had them.VGs. They also really help with float ops, as do the full spanAgain, I have no problems in crosswinds now that I have the

may have to vary a bit depending on weight and hp.But you should come for a flight with me. My plane is quiteKen, don't know if you still lay over in Vancouver sometimes.

Yes Steve can drop flaps and ailerons independently.
I might be seeing a similar power thing as you in that I'm
likely
turning the Warp slower than it was really designedtoBut it is nice
and quiet.
