Video Not Working? Fix It Now

You have seen the terrific cruise-speed at high power settings during the break-in of my IO-550B in the Bonanza, but how does my new setup perform in the real-world, after break-in? In this video, Martin flies the new engine and propeller lean-of-peak (LOP) for the first time and shows how the more powerful engine, the more efficient propeller, and going from old to brand-new equipment yields a cruise speed improvement of 12 knots. 0:00 Start 0:40 Game Plan 1:26 Take-off 5:30 Cruise at 10,000 11:35 Performance comparison 12:13 Getting to know the new engine 13:16 GAMI spread 15:10 Conclusion ========================================== Support Martin's work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/martinpauly ========================================== Martin on Social Media: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/martinpauly Web: https://www.martin.aero Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/n70tb Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Martin_Pauly FaceBook: https://facebook.com/N70TB ========================================== Martin's Bonanza on FlightAware: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N70TB ==========================================
