Going to be flying an RV12 soon. Had a test flight with Van's and that was very, very nice....super actuarially. I also found the people there to be superb individuals who know their business and love it.
But now I want to nail down some knowledge. What is Max L/D at 1320# and what is Minimum sink at 1320#?
I assume normal "Vref" would be about 56 Kts or 1.3 Vso. If you thnk that's wrong please yell. But if it's true is that what I'd use on downwind, base and final with full flaps? I assume short final should be about 50 Kts.
I think I read that Va is 90 Kts. If not yell about that too.
Thanks a bunch
