5.4 Cruise conditions
Because lightweight aircraft are more strongly affected by loading, conditions and propeller setting the
pilot is encouraged to plan very conservatively until experience is gained of his aircraft’s fuel consumption
at the conditions in which his aircraft is normally operated.
Typical economic cruise speeds lie in the range 80 to 115 mph (70 to 100 kt) with the 100 hp engine.
Note: This maximum speed applies only in smooth conditions with no turbulence. In turbulent
air, speed must be kept below V =110 mph (96 kt).
