We got the plane just before summer and all the flying I've done so far has been in 90 degree heat with lots of turbulence. It seems like there is always a headwind too. I am ready for some smooth air this fall and winter to really dial in the airspeed and rpms. I feel like the prop may need some adjusting, but don't want to start with that until after we get some smoother air. I feel like the propeller pitch has been set by Flight Design so it will not allow me to get into the yellow or red area. the highest RPM I have ever seen is about 5350 and that was when the airplane was getting pushed down in a downdraft. My CTLSi true airspeed in cruise (according to Dynon) is consistently around 118-120, whether in St. Louis summer or winter. Typically fly4,500-7,500 feet. Importantly, I throttle back to about 5450 RPM. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Lee Report post Posted January 24 I did mt SW many 9 years ago and my friend did his. Just google leather upholstery cow hides and they are all over the net. I had my seat cushion part redone to. The factory seat was terrible. I took mine to an auto upholstery shop and they did the work. Did a really nice job.
