AOPA Story: Your Thoughts? - Mar 2004

I thought the AOPA story was great with two exceptions.  Milan Schwarz did
not get credit for furnishing the bird (s/n 132) and in the table of
performance, the cruise at 5100 rpm was given as 97 kts.

Just saw the story in the AOPA magazine on the Ximango. I thought it was well done...looked for
but couldn't find any errors. And I even learned a couple of things.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I thought the AOPA story was great with two exceptions.  Milan Schwarz did
not get credit for furnishing the bird (s/n 132) and in the table of
performance, the cruise at 5100 rpm was given as 97 kts.  I find this is
about right for the indicated airspeed at normal cruising altitudes but the
true airspeed would be at least 115 kts.

Thanks Milan,

Jim McCann
