Yeah we actually didn't get as much additional rpm as we asked for with the repitch. But at 2,700rpm the cruise speed will come down to a crawl...anyway, it is what it is, until our O-360 is ready.
@@DirkLarien Yeah the mine hole never gets old. Done a lot of sightseeing of the country in the Bushbaby (previous plane), from the Lowveld, Drakensberg to the Kalahai. Videos in this playlist if you're interested ruclips.net/p/PLT4KVfG7rHgMkklyY_Ozqi8Jv6Dez0_65&si=lvV-LSq2kl-AnXrx
Cool modded 172.. love the tail-dragger configuration. Would have liked to have seen FULL FLAP landing.
6:00 what's the big hole?
love following your vids- flying and theory!
Thanks! It's the Cullinan diamond mine.
Thanks
You really should get 2700 rpm full throttle at sea level at climb speed. As cruise altitude increases rpms up to 2700 can be used at 7 - 8k ft.

@@LetsGoAviate What engine do you have now? I thought it was a 0 360
Still have the 145hp O-300
Was the plane comverted from tricycle gear?
Yes, by the first owner
completely unrelated but, wow, what a big hole.
Just got to search for that. Premiere diamond mine ?
Yeah that's the one, in Cullinan
@@LetsGoAviate What a sight. hmmm, That would be interesting video about great sight seeing places in South Africa from aviator point of view.
