REFLECTOR: Catto - IO-360C1 200HP- 173FG

[Scott Derrick]

Kevin,

I have a STD RG, and did have  a IO360 C1 with a Catto prop in it.

My field elevation. 6500.

Just me and half a tank of gas, say 70 degrees OAT, I would use 
2500-3000 ft of runway, climb at 850 fpm.

Gross weight same temp, I would use 6000 ft of runway, climb at 400 fpm.

I cruised at 165 KTAS, turning 2700-2750 RPM. LOP burning 9.5 GPH. 
Weight didn't effect this much at all.

Your takeoff distance should be 20% less and airspeed should be 10% less 
than mine.

Scott
