|
|
We are a group of 5 or 6 aircrafts, including 3
CH601's planning to go there tomorrow. It looks bad
for my friends though as rain and thunderstorm is
forecasted in their area for 2morrow am (they live 150
km from me and weather is not the same there). Worst
case, I'd go by myself with my son.
We plan on stretching, pe.ing and fueling at
Brockville and Keene where they have mogas.
We plan on camping under the wing (or besides it in a
tent!).
I look forward to see you there.
No-one else coming from this list?
This said, here is another topic...
Last week, I flew from Beloeil to Ottawa Carp for the
Ottawa air show (the Snowbird performance was great!).
Weather was hot and humid (32 degrees C). I pushed
my 601 at 4650 rpm (normally, I cruise at 4450), 80
mph IAS, 65kt GS, nose high all the way, poor climb
rate, etc. How do you guys living in hot areas fly?
During nicer days, I normally fly at 4400-4500 rpm,
95-100 mph, 500-900 fpm climb.
I have to say that my 601-HD was loaded to a bit more
than 1300 lbs on departure from Beloeil.
Coming back was a more fun ride with a 46kt tail wind
at an altitude of 5500 feet

Hi Michel
Mark Townsend and I will be there all weekend with
Mark's scratchbuilt 601 XL at the CAN-ZAC Aviation
booth representaing Zenith/Zenair. His plane is
really
getting close to done now and it is getting exciting
seeing the progress. Won't have the wings but you
will see the interior and instrument panel as well
as
the corvair conversion without the cowl.
Al Etherington will be watching things for us there
for a part of Friday as well.
Hope to see you there. Are you flying in?
David

Michel, David, list
I will be driving down with my son, leaving my CH200 at home since I
have to be back later that night to work Saturday. I will stop in at
CanZac aviation and will be wearing a Zenith cap.
