In a recent post a fellow "poster" used the "I have heard" statement to compare performances between aircraft with equal HP engines performing about the same. This is what he said;
"There is a savana in Nth Qld with the VGs and VG wing mod with 80HP
Rotax and From what I have heard the cruise speed is no better than my CH 701 with 80 hp Rotax 70 knots 5200rpm 2 up. if you want an
improvement in speed use 100hp Rotax cruise 80 Knots".
There is nothing wrong with the post other than it has minimum validity to it. Except the more hp part. A person can say "I have heard" about anything. The only problem is that if it repeated enough, it becomes fact. There are only a few ways a true comparison like that can be made. One is if all the variables are the same and it becomes a true apples to apples comparison and another is if enough runs are made by both to compute some types of averages or I guess they could race. But, "I have heard", nope I don't buy that one. You will have to pardon me, it's just a pet peeve with me. However, I have heard, less drag, more lift equals better performance. That's just a rumor, don't repeat it. lol.
Just funning, don't get upset.
