When my RAF cruises at 75 kts indicated (actual about 67kts by GPS) I have to hold the stick forward to maintain airspeed and need to hold constant left rudder to keep her straight. Mast is in position 4 (rotor head most rearward, I think). Doors off btw.
I have a large HS fitted, 2.2 soobie with 2.37:1 redrive, 68" Ivoprop Magnum (works great), otherwise standard.
The hang test allows me to use mast position 2 or 3 if necessary.
Darn ELA's were leaving me behind today with their 8 to 10 kt cruise advantage.
Any tips to increase cruise speed appreciated.
