flingwing206 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Just curious to hear from anyone who flies the triple three - how fast do you generally cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flingwing206 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks, Nov - I'm actually sitting in front of the PFM for the 333. BTW, the SACUSA website also says the 300CBi cruises at 80 KT, which just isn't so - it will go 80 if you pull full power, but it's really only happy at 70 KT. That's why I take the website with a grain of salt. (Robinson claims a 120 KT cruise for the R44-II, yep, with one person and half fuel on a cold day - maybe - most times with a normal load it's more like 107 KT). So that's why I ask.
