Hi Mr. Enoka

Reading this thread, you indicated that you are working with lift and moment coefficients, and peformance numbers. This caught my eye.

I have been doing some work with book performance numbers and some data I recorded at FL190 this past summer using Energy Conservation and Stokes law equations. My analysis was sparked by my plans to do an Atlantic crossing this year and I need to know the implications to performance in the event of engine failure during an an above gross weight departure.

I am also considering the addition of Flint Tip Tanks. Reading their manual supplement, I notice some interesting fueling requirements related to the operating weight of the aircraft. ( ie: you must carry at least 12 gallons in each tank when operating in the air between 4300 lbs and 4700 lbs. )

Would you be interested in an exchange of our works. I have modeled this on an Excell spreadsheet and would be willing to share it with you. Not increadibly elaborate, but I believe I am not too far off the right track.

Best Regards,.,.....Barry Sloane, N187
