Jab twin

Could be wrong but that's what the ASI and tacho appeared to be displaying. Remember this was the first flight and maybe adjustments need to be made. Yes I too believe jabiru recommend running the engine hard.

You could run one engine hard in cruise and shut the other down perhaps...sort of like carrying a spare engine...

1st flight of a new type.......probably unlikely that a test of VNE or fast cruise was included in the plan for No#1 flight

2x fadec 2200 (that shadowlite also do)might make it perform pretty well, likely to exceed Vne pretty easily with even mixtures and temps.

The key word is "dual" control. There's ONE stick and your arm has to be right behind it. Gives the instructor a bit of difficulty. If we place the dual throttles in the centre on the dash, both pilots have easy access to them. This is the "normal" way, rather than having two sets of "organ stops " near each door. Perhaps have a Y shaped control stick? You need to place these things carefully. I'm highlighting the problem. Not giving all the answers..Twins can be more to manage than a single. Nev

I'm highlighting the problem. Not giving all the answers..

The problem is people taking cheap shots at other people who are tackling serious engineering puzzles.

 

Any yobbo can carp on about real or imagined 'problems'.

 

If you have no solution to offer, why carry on?

 

By the way...... This is a development aircraft.

You ARE a little rude. I don't answer to the title of yobbo generally. Bit sensitive aren't you?. We are allowed to discuss things here aren't we?. I don't think I am very condemnatory of the plane either. Nev
