Cirrus Power rateing.

The little 'Blue Book" or owners manual has a statement similar to : Maximum revs is 2600rpm for five min. which is the 100hp rateing. Normal cruise is around the 2100rpm and will give approxmatly 85/90 hp.(Depends on prop pitch)
AIK came with a fully sterable tail wheel, I think of the Maul variety, and brings the back of the aircraft up slightly and may give a better forward view.
Have been told 35kts is a good landing speed with two notches of flap, tried the full flap landing, woah! was loosing it fast till the flaps came up.
I have just spent the last couple of months perfecting a fiberglass replica instrument pannel, full faceia, looks nice with a black hammer tone paint finish, even if I do say so myself. The old pannel has more holes and gaps in it than a drafty motor bike.
