At the latter setting, the pitch up is beginning to be uncomfortable - but, I could easily stay in the air for 8 hours (with a 1 hour reserve) at that speed and altitude, and cover 1080 NM (no wind).<<<

Scott, I'm curious what the numbers look like cruising at max endurance in the 360... set the AOA at L/D max (green bar w/ the "x" in it), and then set the power to maintain a constant altitude.  I wonder where the airspeed winds up and what the endurance is at that setting.  Next time you have a chance... Thanks....
