The performance with the retract system is
impressive. The speed gain is going to vary per airframe, but it should be worth
about 6-9 knots with average fixed gear installation. The current numbers on the
EZRG are top speed of 207 KIAS at 1,000 feet MSL at 59 degrees F. The true airspeed
was 239 MPH. Cruise speed at 10,000 feet MSL 2550 RPM is 180 knots true.
Climb is 2,000 FPM solo at 130 knots. Gear deployment speed max is 140 knots.
The high altitude performance has been exceptional, with 500 FPM climb at 18,000 feet MSL
and cruise of 190 knots at 2,650 RPM burning 5.2 GPH. |
