I could label this, Woow, this thing is eating-up runway on landing.

After installing a couple of static ports on fuselage sides my ASI seems to be giving me accurate information for a change. It' is a shame I'm not really going 150 mph on 160 hp and I need to redo all my Vx/Vy numbers...

What I noticed yesterday was that using my "old" 100 IAS approach speed was a bad move. Now 90 works better which is likely the same real speed. When I redo my timed climbs I should be able to see the actual difference at slower speeds?

Well, better go burn some more gas. I also better get up my nerve to land over at Cumberland(KCBE) on hard surface so I can fill up and stop hauling 5 gal. cans back/forth. (We had our first flyin breakfast over there Sunday but I decided not to take the new bird over there. Don't want a cloud of dust in front of a crowd):eek:

Not really worried just want to practice/nail new speeds.

Later,

Jack

BTW have 10 hours on her now.
