Made the motor/prop swap , and drag is drag. The prop an Horse power increase helps the climb, but can only use full take off power for one minute , but it will maintain 700 Fpm at climb setting , compared to 300Fpm stock . Cruise at 7000Ft. will give me 86Knts which is better than the 78Knts but no realistic settings of Mp. an Rpm. will get the aircraft to the 100Knts I was hoping for. I think I will still use it, since the longest leg will be under 200 miles..

Trying to find an interesting ride for the upcoming rally, found a amphibian version of the Globe Swift. Very poor performance. the floats really add drag and slow it down to an 80Knt. cruise speed and takes half an hour to get to 7,000 Ft. Solution- working on taking the motor and prop from the Modified Swift aircraft Cfg. (included in the package), will give it 100 more Horsepower and a variable pitch prop. would like to get a 100Knt cruise and 700-1000 Foot per minute climb range. IF it works I will use it!
