C180 Skywagon Determining Best Glide and Min Sink

FlyWire tests the C-180 Skywagon to find out what the Best Glide Speed and Min Sink Speeds are. Given a highly modified wing whatever POH numbers exist don't really apply to this airplane anymore. Just how do we determine these important reference speeds. The fun thing is that you can do the same thing with your airplane. try it, you might like it! Check the link below for the Excel Spreadsheet on the website (soon to come).




FlyWire is about exploring flight and the freedom this incredible experience brings us on a personal level. Flying has always captured the imagination and excitement of living life to its fullest. Hi, I'm Scott Perdue. In a former life I flew the F-4 and F-15E, more recently I retired from a major airline. I've written for several aviation magazines over the years, was a consultant for RAND, the USAF, Navy, NASA as well as few others, wrote a military thriller- 'Pale Moon Rising' (still on Kindle). But mostly I like flying, or teaching flying. Some of the most fun I had was with Tom Gresham on a TV show called 'Wings to Adventure". We flew lots of different airplanes all over the country. Now with FlyWire I want to showcase the fun in flying, share the joy and freedom of flight and explore the world with you. Make sure you subscribe if you want to go along for the ride!
