Gang,  

Here is what I found today when I flew my 50 at 1700. I waited that long hoping the winds would die down. They did not! They were 030 (at) 22 at 3000. They were 360 at  8 G 15. They were actually more like 30 kts (at) 2500 ft when measured by the GPS! So saying all that, these are indicated  airspeeds only.  

I was at 2500 ft  in level flight for this.  

240 kph (at) 62% and 600 mmHg  

250 kph (at) 65% and 650 mmHg  

260 kph (at) 70% and 700 mmHg  

290 kph (at) 80% and 800 mmHg  

My 50 is stock with flush riveted skin, 360 hp engine and 2 blade standard Ru prop.  

I did not do fuel burns for an hour at each of these throttle settings. I just wanted to  confirm for myself what I had seen when flying her.
