Re: V Speeds
Mike Dwyer
I measured my Q200 at 900lb.
Vs 67 mph
Vx 85 mph
Vy 120 mph
Vne 230 mph
I did find that with the engine at full power the plane would lift off around 60 mph (below stall speed) I think due to the additional airflow over the wing at full power. Due to that I would always lift off and stay in ground effect until 100 mph, then climb out. I would fly final with 2 170 lb people at 90 mph and single place at 85 mph. If you want to land in 1600 feet.Mike Dwyer

Close? And yes I understand that I need to test these and run numbers and graphs later but for now I am trying to get conservative ballpark numbers.

Love building planes almost as much as flying. Latest completed build is "Loki", a Chinook Plus 2 bush plane.
