Some figures from a recent test flight in climb were: 85% torque at 1800 RPM gave 150 knots indicated & 5000 feet per minute climb. On the first flight we were at 2050 RPM & I thought that was extremely quiet. 1800 RPM makes noise cancelling headsets redundant.At the moment Frank Fry is concentrating on getting the pressurisation system sorted. He is favouring the Beech Kingair 100 hardware at this stage. He is putting together a website but in the interim, those who want to know more about his aircraft can e-mail him at belvoir@ca.com.au.
