Tell us how you like your new Dakota, Pabra!For fun and to satisfy my curiosity, I conducted a full set of field trials on the Dakota. I measured takeoff, climb and landing performance under different conditions, made fuel and True Airspeed calculations for a range of cruise power settings, and measured stall speed under various power, flap and bank conditions. I also experimented with different techniques for short and soft field takeoffs and landings, steep turns, etc. and compared the results.My notebook contains a number of pages of data from these trials. I believe they are more accurate than the figures provided in Carenado's literature, admittedly not a strong point of the Dakota package.Would anyone be interested in reading a report of these tests?It would be fun to write. In the real world I have been toying with the idea of writing about aviation as a sideline. Also, I am on Spring Break from my university this week!

"Would anyone be interested in reading a report of these tests?"Very much so! The raw data would be sufficient if you want to save your time for simming :-)Regards, [email protected]
