Re: DA20-A1 speeds and performance
Hi, I just joined today but my DA20-A1 (GBXTS) in the UK gives me 120kts at 1000ft at 28 MFP with two 80kg pob. Conditions here are typically 5-15 Celsius at 1000ft. Enginer is Rotax 912 (carb) 80hp which was rebuilt not so long ago with about 400 hrs on. I use UL91.
