Hi Ed,

Did you ever revisit the best rate of climb speed= after you put the C drive on?  My RV-8 was like every other standar= d fixed pitch RV, meaning that it climbed best at about 120 mph.&nbs= p; For some reason, the RV-3 has always climbed better at lower speeds, p= articularly since the C drive has been installed.   Tracy said = he noticed that his best climb rate was at a lower speed after the C driv= e as well. 
 
FWIW, I believe my best climb rate is currently i= n the 80-90 mph range.  Once the engine is trustworthy again, I'll d= o some final testing on this.  I want to find the best speed, as wel= l as perhaps trying a small amount of flaps in climb.  The flap= s never helped the RV-8 climb, but it's worth a try.  I'm going to g= et that 3000 fpm one way or another :-)
