May 28, 201115 yr Thanks for that Eric. Need to check this out. Could be my mixture setting maybe... Bryan K.Ottawa, CanadaCurrent virtual hangar: Flight1 BN2 Islander, A2A C182, A2A C172, Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended
May 28, 201115 yr Update. Got it nicely up to over 120 IAS as per the charts. It's more touchy on the mixture than what I am use to. That made it. Bryan K.Ottawa, CanadaCurrent virtual hangar: Flight1 BN2 Islander, A2A C182, A2A C172, Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended
May 28, 201115 yr Ok, I realize this isn't quite a "real-world" challenge but it does give you a sense at just how capable the Islander is with regards to STOL. This is where I ended up touching down right at the end of the deck at about 55-60kts. Thumbsup for that one, Erick. Next target would be a helipad, huh?

This is where I ended up touching down right at the end of the deck at about 55-60kts.This is strange. I just flew at 6000ft here and with the MP at 23" and the engines at 2400RPM I was able to get 127kt IAS and a TAS of about 140kts. These numbers are pretty much what the manual says you should get. There must be something else going on that's not allowing you to get the right performance. Erick, glad your enjoying it, you'll probably scrap your Maule now lol Dave Taylor
