I've had my Super Legend for a month and love it! I'm working out several new airplane/new model bugs but nothing so serious that I can't enjoy the process. My plane is the #1 Super after the prototype.
Mine has the standard Lycoming 0-233 (115hp) engine with the Catto 74x40 prop. This prop gives extra performance over the prototype with the Sensenich ground adjustable. I flew 'em both and the Catto is better.
Today I departed home base (2,000 msl and 55 degrees) at max gross wt and climbed at 900fpm. My TAS was 100 mph @2,500 rpm with a flow of 6.4 gph. At 2,400 rpm my TAS was 93mph with a flow of 5.7. I have 26" tires on it so when I put the 8.00x6.00 back on I will be able to add about 3 mph to these speeds.
I mostly use half flaps for landing and see landing speeds of about 32 mph and with full flaps speeds of <30.
I took it to a breakfast fly-in at Coolidge, AZ today and it continually had lookers gathered around it. It is a truly good looking airplane. I'll try to attach a picture to this post.
