Are you sure? It looks like you are doing just 95 KIAS at 24 squared, which seem more like 105-110 KTAS at 6500 ft

PAINFULLY SLOWWWWWW!! Thanks for the pics. I was going to fly again today since at first it looked as if there was a good chance at IMC, but the ceiling was too high for it be be worth spending the $$$ to launch. KHFD 221253Z 02010KT 10SM OVC016 12/09 A2999 Anything higher than 800...

Re: 18 days in paradise and a Masters Degree in Bahama Out Island Exploration w/ HD v (Picking up where I left off) I top off the tank and see that it took 23 gallons to get her full as when I left that morning. Thats turns out to be exactly 2.6 nmpg, a bit more that I'd have thought, but...

Re: After a long IMC drought, I'm finally back with another write-up w/ an ILS to min Nope! Sure WISH I had those! What was a 4 hr roundtrip on the 17' Whaler, would have been a whopping 30-40 min, even in a "slow" ASES aircraft!

Re: After a long IMC drought, I'm finally back with another write-up w/ an ILS to min While a fantastic idea, I think I'd die with the heat and humidity if I had to stay the night, not to mention all the bugs that arent around in the daytime:eek: I'd MUCH rather camp when its 20 deg. Heck...

Re: After a long IMC drought, I'm finally back with another write-up w/ an ILS to min Not to get too off topic from my original post, but here is the video from my DIY excursion to that sandbar in the Scrub Cays, about 30nm W of Staniel Cay. https://vimeo.com/106638814 I'm going to post...

Re: After a long IMC drought, I'm finally back with another write-up w/ an ILS to min It sure was stunning, but it was the ride from hell on the return with almost 30 nm of 3-4 ft punishing head seas on a 17' Whaler. 3 hrs of that was MUCH worse than winter tent camping at LKP when it was...

Re: After a long IMC drought, I'm finally back with another write-up w/ an ILS to min Good observation. I do still seek out the good days, but ive just been spoiled rotten with those sandbars and beaches in the Bahamas, that almost ANYTHING else seems to fall short, even though there are...
