Colyn,
    I refer to your LML posting on 12/01/04 regarding speed brakes.    You asked the question 'should I persevere with my old-style mechanical speed brakes'?   My interest as an Australian at the same level of build (IVP), is that I also have the old style brakes and am similarly questioning their use.
    Did you come to a decision?
    What influenced that decisiion?
    Would really appreciate your input.
 
    Regards

I've been looking at long range profiles and noticing that a lot of the interesting range is below
28" MP.  I've heard this is the least that will keep you pressurized at altitude.
 
Is this really true?  
 
Anyone done anything to tighten up their airframe so that they can run at lower power settings?
 
thanks,
 
Colyn Case
