I'm just passing RAF Wattisham and RAF Mindenhall. I find the 504-HD flies best of the three I've tested so far. Did I maybe miss a variant in the BE12? I ask because I am getting the performance out of the HD that Lester said I should have gotten from the BE12, and I couldn't get anything close that that. The HD climbed easily at 1000 fpm up to 5000 and leveled out at 73 KIAS and 88 Kts GS. I climbed at 750 fpm to 8000 and got 75 KIAS and 90 GS. At 10000 feet, climbing at 500 fpm, I leveled out at 78 KIAS and 91 GS. Now, I'm at 12000 feet and 75 KIAS and 91 GS. Again, I changed the weather from real to "Fair Weather" that has a reading of 15003KT. I should note this has been straight-line testing, I haven't done any performance drills yet.
My console shows all three aircraft are generating some NASAL errors. but I'm not sure how they are affecting overall performance.
I'm glad to see that fschmid's flights with the Zeps went well. I'm really looking forward to this event!
