I fly Experimental aircraft -- how often do you see me being beat up over it? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I understand there isn't a silver bullet and also understand why people choose to fly what they fly.
This is where you're going so wrong Jay. A 2000 fpm climb rate is nothing that many of us don't experience on a regular basis in both certified and experimental aircraft. That's not F15 performance it's just better then what you're used to.
No we froth at your absolute failure in both judgement and knowledge. You've posted things in this thread that are absolutely horribly wrong and never seem to be able to acknowledge that you have a lack of understand and knowledge when people correct you. You then continue to base your argument and decision making on your flawed knowledge. People try to help you and it's as if you don't actually read a single thing anyone else writes.
I just clicked Find more Posts by Jay Honeck. I scrolled through the results and see point after point you're making that is simply wrong...Let me show you a few:
Wrong.
If you were at 1G you wouldn't ever be able to start climbing. Many of us fly high performance aircraft. Wrong on both counts.
Once again, Wrong, you would reduce your time by even more if you just climbed out at Vy, since, that by it's nature, will get you the highest in the least amount of time.
Complete lack of understanding regarding physics and aerodynamics. You're making decisions that influence your safety and your passengers safety based on extremely flawed knowledge. Most people, once they understood this, would seek more training. Instead you just shove your head deeper into the sand.
Your posts indicate that perhaps you could use some more training, starting with aeronautical decision making, aerodynamics, and whatever it takes to gain a better understanding of your airplanes performance. You seem to think you have it mastered but if I scroll through your posts nearly every one of them is wrong. You can either look at that, realize you should make a few changes, or continue to pound your head deeper into the sand.
None of us are saying what we're saying to be mean. We're saying what we're saying because we see you writing the wrong thing after the wrong thing after the wrong thing and then making decisions based on your incorrect knowledge. That's a recipe for disaster.
51 hours in type, 60 hours in type, that's not jack.
You also seem to think that none of us have flown anything but 500 fpm airplanes. Many of us have flown aircraft that will easily outperform your RV. It's not a high performance aircraft. 200 mph is not insanely fast. 2000 fpm climbs isn't anything special.
When you see a lot of experienced pilots that have flown a lot of aircraft in a lot of scenarios all trying to tell you the same thing you really should damn well listen. But that's you're problem. I've never seen you listen. You don't ever take anything anyone else writes seriously you just treat it as them attacking you and hold your ground even firmer. Sad really.
For starters. Stare at this until you understand it:
Indeed.
