Well, I took the RV3 on a small cross country today to get a little better feel of the plane. DW followed along in his RV4. Plane flew nice & it was fun to fly with a friend. Went from K17 to KGBD to KDDC to K17. Looks like the plane is an honest 180 - 185mph plane. I was hoping for a little faster, but I think a few "aero" clean ups are needed this winter & will help. It was very even or touch faster than 150hp (Hartzell Contant Speed) RV 4 in Level flight, but Dwight could outclimb me on take off (I figured on that). If weather good & can practice more landings this week planning another trip next Sat. Likely from K17 - KWDG (for breakfast) - stop by LOE - back to K17. Will see, but this could cost me alot of avgass.
