Performance

My 750 has an O-200 engine and I NEVER see 1000 FPM climb or 100MPH cruise or the claimed range. I would love to hear what other folks have found.

750 Flying Technique

Currently I'm focusing on landing the 750 under a range of configurations and circumstances . . . and I find the process challenging and FUN.
