Basically speed comes by reducing drag and increasing HP.  On a given
airplane the speed will increase by approximately the cube root of the HP.
If you plane goes 180 kts with 200 hp, it should go about 205- kts with 300
hp (differences in prop notwithstanding).


Al.....

What am I missing here....The cube root of 300 is app. 6.7

Best... Steve
