Thumbs up Raisbeck Rules OK!!

My humble biased opinion left me to conclude the following:

1.It gives me more airspeed to work with safely.
2.Better handling at lower speed,
3.Shorter takeoff runs out kak strips,
4.Landing at slower speeds into kak strips
5.Better climb.
6.It sattisfies my need for speed at altitude.
7.Better ground clearance for the props.
8.Increased Zero fuel weight.
9.All in all it makes me feel better about my limited abilities to keep the hides of my pax and most of all my own intact.
10.Allowing me to still fly on that verrry hot a African afternoon



What I dont like:
1.Increased sensitivity operating it in visible moisture,
2.Higher prop RPM's at idle,
3.Increased ascemetric discking as you close the power for landing,

As I have said before numbers talk and bull**** walks.
10 to 3 does it for me.

As allways
