Hi Mark, As you know, I currently have a VW 2180 (Not for long ;)- I leave for FL. tomorrow). All number are MPH. I like to rotate at 70 and typically use 100 - 110 for climb out unless I need to climb faster. I then use between 80 - 90 for best climb. Pattern is usually at 110 - 130 depending on traffic at the time. I use 90 - 100 on base and 80 on final. I am about 70 over the numbers and let it settle. I wheel land because I like having the speed just in case down low. I touch down around 55 - 65. I do not have flaps or a belly board and slip it in on final....Oh yeah, I forgot we went up together at the Gathering. So you kinda know how my plane flys the pattern and on final.
I'm sure your plane will be way smoother than mine but the overall speeds should be pretty close. Good luck! I can't wait to hear the flight report. Steve Glover KR-2 N902G AJO, Ca <kr...@cox.net> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- OK, I hate to be this way, but this one's for real KR pilots only. Please send me your speeds....rotation, climbout, pattern, approach, and approximate touchdown speeds, and anything else that a prospective KR test pilot might need. And it might not hurt to remind me what engine you have in it, and whether or not you have flaps or belly board. I might need these one of these days...
