I had a good couple of flights while off for the Thanksgiving
holidays. I did something I don't do too often...spent some
time alone in the cockpit. I decided to get some good
comparisons between ROP and LOP and see how it shook out again.
Here's a link:

I'm pretty darn impressed with the climb in the RV-10. When
you're alone, if you keep that nose up and climb at 105-110 kts,
you're going up a pretty steep escalator. I found myself
level at 8500' (ground is about 900 here) at 5 minutes 20 seconds
today, and that wasn't climbing at either Vx or Vy...just
doing a normal non-precision relaxed climb.
You guys, you're really gonna love your airplanes!

Deems - Tim did not say Love deflected, it's just implied your was
delayed, so think of all that excitement around the corner like dating
in high school.
Most of us are waiting for your report of the first few dates.

Good work, the next data point that would be interesting would be ROP at 164
Knots of speed, what is the fuel flow. In other words how much fuel do you
save at the same speed going from ROP to LOP?
Inquiring minds want to know.
