Excellent. Thank you. I wondered about the 150/150. We are thinking of using this plane at a 5000' field elevation in Africa 3 degrees below the equator so density altitudes will be high. I'm wondering if the 150 with a climb prop would be worth the trade-off in useful load? Not too worried about cruise speed.

I understand what you are saying about no energy left for the flare. Sounds like you'd need to get the plane up over best glide near touchdown to generate enough energy to flare power off.

Did you say you have a 150M? What density altitudes are you flying? Why every takeoff with 10 deg. flap? How high of a wieght have you flown and was the climb/handling aweful?

Thanks again,

Scott
