Questions about Skymasters

[Mark Hislop]

Colin:

I normally climb at about 120 mph indicated. This speed keeps the nose down low enough to see over it, and gives plenty of cooling. At these speeds, with full fuel and two or three people, I get 750 to 900 fpm, depending on the outside temps. The plane will climb faster, but the nose is so high you can't see other traffic.
