But you will burn a lot of fuel while only doing climb airspeed on the way to 180.

Ray told me then he had taken it up to 18K numerous times and Trued at 230mph/200Kts.
Makes me want to start collecting turbo bits for my spare Franklin! I figured 250hp would be nice, but I never thought the airframe would be good for those kinds of speeds :shock:

At 18,000 200 knots true is 152 knots indicated. Well really, calibrated airspeed but the two are going to be really close.

For certain the diesel or turbine Maule will have you watching the yellow arc a lot.

M9 Delta Update:
Brent texted me last night and said
"The M9-D is on hold until further notice"

Unofficially they are looking at several options...
I too would love sea level power in the mountains.
