My 2nd Flight

What's your cruising speed in one of those? I have a single engine pilot's license, although I haven't flown in around 15 years now. I think the Cessna's and Cherokees I flew were around 100 knots. Then when I'd go for a ride in an Arrow, it's amazing how much faster that thing was.

In these little R22's we cruise at about 75-80kts. 60kts is a good number right now for most maneuvers.

Sounds about right for the Cessnas as I think that's where we were when I flew with my buddy.
