Hi All,

After realising that with the amount of planes we now have, I cannot remember the correct spin recovery technique, or even the Max RPM of every single plane anymore. So I decided to review all the spin recoveries and performance information and put it all into a table so that it's not forgotten.

I hope it's useful to the rest of you as well, I've uploaded it to the link below in A3 format to fit one page per side.

ROF Quick Reference

Thank you to piecost for letting me use his tests for maximum dive and corner speeds.

Jolly good stuff old chap. Much appreciated.

Will be interesting to see if and how this changes as each aircraft's FM's gets a revisit, S! 777 for doing so.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Couple of points. How can I make the print larger for ancient eyes? The other is has anyone worked out most efficient climb speed?

Hi,

Yes its made to print on A3, on that size the print should be ok but if you squash it down to A4 it will auto-shrink which would be hard to read.

If you haven't got an A3 printer at work or something, you could view as PDF on another screen or use alt-tab.

Most efficient climb speed - would be very good to have! Same with effective stall speed. Not sure how to measure them though but if anyone does I'll add them.

Also if you have excel you can change the formatting to suit your print if you like, here's the current version in excel: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29331868/ROF%20Quick%20Reference%20v0.5.xlsx
