Does anyone have a= ny gouge on this aircraft? =20 I'm a little concerned that at twice the $ per flight hour I won't take it u= p as often just for fun. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on cruisin= g in a IV at max range and max endurance. The BSFC of the TSIO-550 is only 5= -10% worse than the IO-550 according to Conti. The cruise speeds ive seen q= uoted are far from the published L/D MAX ( max range) speed of the IV. Can a= nyone comment on operating at a more efficient 150-160kias? Joe Czabaranek=
