Hi Dene, I'll check the figures for you in the next couple of days but iirc cruise speed was 100 mph @ 3000 (eng) rpm, max speed 130 mph @ 3300 (eng) rpm - eng rpm quoted because the prop was geared. Actually, I've flown it quite recently, to do a bit of virtual geology over the Channelled Scab Lands in Washington state (worth a look in FG) and it seems to be flying pretty close to the right numbers, engine included. Not so sure about the handling though - it should be tail-heavy and inclined to loop if you let go of the stick, which doesn't happen in FG. Like I said though, I'll check the numbers and get back to you in the next few days. You make a good point re it being GPL'd - it is and what is in FG isn't mine. However, I think it's probably a good idea to try to talk to any people who created or subsequently developed the work because they will have done a lot of research on it and could save you a lot of time.
