OK Doc, its a fair cop, didn't think the weed would be that obvious to someone with a confused vac pump that blows..
As I said, not THAT far behind in a 182RG, don't know where your numbers come from but try fully loaded 14 mins to A100, 154 kts 47 litres per hour - and oh yes, on 50HP less. I can easily be at 10,000 by Richmond taking off from Camden (26nm) and still be climbing at 500fpm. A decent TR182 would beat that by a bit. Imagine looking up from the Killer and seeing an old high wing biscuit tin, with all 3(!) feathers correctly placed in the tail above you, struts and all - and a decent 210 might be in front of that...
(Actually I'd love a V35B or a F33A but don't tell the buscuit tin club I have those terrible secret desires - its only the weed.)
