Hi all,
I have read many contradictory things regarding best angle of climb speeds and what they actually are and the use of flaps etc.
I am talking about a PA18, 180hp with 2,000 gross.
The 1975 POH states VX is 45mph, but this I assume is at 1750lbs (could not find the reference to flaps)
I could not find anything on the Wipair supplement about airspeeds.
Not a habit I plan to get into, but if I am loaded up and looking for max angle, how do I work it out?
(bold method mentioned half the percentage speed increase for the percentage of extra gross)
Thanks
