Published time to climb to 20,000 feet is 18 minutes, and cruise speeds are advertised to be 205 knots at 15,000 feet. Most A36 owners we talk with plan on 165 knots and 1,000 fpm climbs when lightly loaded. The B36TC, with its 200-pound gross weight increase, can carry roughly 900 pounds in the cabin with the tanks full.

The Texas winds were gusting anywhere from 15-25 knots, and like other aerobatic airplanes, the canopy can be easily blown off. As soon as the tail was up, I added full power and accelerated to 80 knots and rotated with the tiniest bit of back pressure. Before I knew it we had already hit 120 knots. Max Gross Weight: 2,200 lbs.

Featuring a Jabiru 3300 120 hp, 6-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the aircraft was built to accommodate a 1,675 pound gross weight. When MOSAIC comes into effect, you can bring it to a service center, and we will write a new certificate of airworthiness and weight and balance. But the J-230D still packs an impressive punch.

Epic has just released the most recent iteration of the airplane, the E1000 AX, with a major avionics upgrade including Garmin’s G1000 NXi suite and upped the useful load to an advertised (on its website) 2,860 pounds—gross weight 8,000, max ramp weight 8,035. The solution is to put something in the baggage compartment.

In order to be flown by a sport pilot, the resulting airplane must still meet the current regulations—1,320 pounds maximum gross weight, 120 knots max cruise speed, for example—but how it gets there is up to the builder. On the walkaround, you doubtlessly noted the full-span flaperons (flaps plus ailerons as one unit).

In maintaining a properly coordinated steep turn, the pilot must use the opposite aileron to maintain bank. You may need to apply the opposite aileron to counter the overbanking tendency. Adverse Yaw Adverse yaw is when an aircraft tends to yaw towards a raised wing due to the aerodynamic forces of an aileron deflected down.
