I usually fly my V35B with full fuel and one-up. At that loading is will consistently do 10,000 in 10 min at 2500/25" and 110 IAS. At gross TOW it takes about 12 min
Hey Doc, How would the strutless compare?

The similarly powered C210 that I have most recently flown is not in the hunt!
The IO550 powered, Scimitar prop'd, C210 that I ran in a couple of months ago goes up pretty well!

Capt Wally;
I am thinking of following the weather and selling up. Move to Tas for summer and Qld for winter. I can make myself a problem for the kids on the drive up and back. The Riverina is too cold in winter and too hot in summer.
Jabawocky;
That's a nice Percival Gull in the photo's. Is it a Challinor restoration?

From memory the Proctor was an evolutionary wartime variant of the Gull. Kingsford Smith flew a Gull somewhere. Also I think the Gull had a Gipsy 6 of 200 HP and the Proctor a Gipsy Queen of 210 HP.
I think it was Joe Palmer who took me for a ride in a Proctor when I was a kid. He also owned a Staggerwing Beech which I also had a ride in.

Latest trip photos
After my last trip it took about 10 seconds for the people of PPRuNe to ID all the photos. I hope these from my most recent travels might prove a bit harder.

The main airport in East Timor is at Dili (Comoro), 1850m of undulating ashpalt. The alternate, which is now non operational is Baucau (Cakung), 2500m of concrete.
Baucau was where TAA used to operate a F-27 Friendship service from Darwin prior to 1975.
It has been suggested that Baucau could have been another Bali if circumstances had been different
