R66 cruise

My mate flew his new 66 up the coast (NSW) yesterday. 125 kts cruise. 130-135 kts fastest. Fuel burn was below published. He is excited about the performance, smoothness and build quality. "You have to get one mate !" was his message last night.

My 44 cruises at 110 kts. That's a big difference in speed and time, particularly in Aus where we have long distances to cover (and can't afford a A109 !).

Longranger IV, superb machine, but it does not cover the ground like that.

Cheers
