Hi

 

 What speed does everyone else use use for best angle and best rate of climb in their 801s? I use 70 MPH for both. I could not get my airspeed to stabilize enough to get more accurate.

 

 What about best glide speed? Longest distance and longest time. I tried 68 MPH and got a 850' drop which gives a glide ratio or 7:1. Last fall after I pulled the 801 off floats I was doing some touch and goes and it looked like I glided a lot farther at 80 MPH than 70 MPH. 

 

 Does anyone have any data to share?

 

 Here are my calculations for glide ratio:

 68mph=100ft/sec=6000ft/min

 6000 ft/min / 850 ft/min= 7:1

 The 801 is in the hanger for the winter

 800 hrs with 100 on floats

 



 I posted this question on the Zenith.aero site.  Ben, Ray and Dan answered.  Is there anyone else that flys an 801 that has experimented with this?
