For those who are interested, without intersection fairings, no paint, rear tie down ring in, etc.... as best I can come up with are virtually identical numbers to what Van lists (perhaps 2-3 mph more). I am spinning a 3-bladed Catto 66X72 prop with O-320-E3D with the higher compression pistons and an e-mag and a p-mag. I turn a bunch of RPM's down low flat out to get the top speed numbers, but it does do it.
After some good airspeed calibration runs last night my dynon true airspeed reads about 6 knots too low at around 150 knots. I am one of the few that received a heated dynon pitot and I have the safeair1 install kit with flush static ports. After some reading of people having problems with flush static ports I might mess around with cutting the head off the pop rivet Van's uses for the static port and glueing it over top of the flush one to see if that helps at all.
At any rate, for those who spend time worrying about numbers mine is another data point saying that Van lists honest numbers.
