      Scott Koehn yep I know how you feel. I had a 4 place with an IO-390. Mine was ok but no where near the crème of the crop. After I sold it I said that one day I would build the perfect bearhawk with a 540. Finding the time is the problem as you say. If you see one for sale snap it up. They are unbeatable. I kept mine at my house and had a 600ft paddock to work with. Bearhawk made it look easy.

      Here's what anyone who holds an airman certificate needs to know: Airplanes stall at any airspeed, in any attitude. Exceeding the AOA is the ONLY thing that causes a stall. Indicated airspeed has nothing to do with a stall, and in this airplane and many others, airspeed reads terribly inaccurately in a 1g stall (90% of the aircraft out there will not have accurate IAS at stalling AOA and many read 0). This is a test of true airspeed (ground speed) at a 1g stall for the given conditions. This is the speed you could potentially slow the aircraft to prior to touchdown, thus landing shorter. Here we're trying to COMPARE what aircraft out there can land short, and COMPARABLE landing distance is mostly determined by speed at touchdown. In no wind, which is how we want to compare airplanes, this airplane is capable of sustaining flight right around 40mph, indicating 20-30 IAS depending on how smooth the air is flowing into that little tube, and the only instrument that will remotely be accurate at that configuration is your fingertips and butt.

    • @fly8ma.comflighttraining199
      @fly8ma.comflighttraining199  5 років тому

      Just so everyone is clear, relying on IAS to avoid a stall is akin to relying on rumble strips to keep your car in the center of your lane going down the highway.....while it's not entirely useless information, it is in no way a primary source to be used to keep your car in the center of a lane.

    Throw on a set of 31'ABW's! It will help with your take off roll with a slightly higher AoA. And with the extra drag, it will be easier to slow it down on final. They will also slow the plane down a few more MPH in level cruise. It all depends on your mission, if you need the bigger tires, you don't need the speed; If you need the speed, you don't need the bigger tires. Also get the Garmin GAP26 AoA probe for that G3X. Fly the AoA, not the airspeed during final, it will shorten up your landing :)
