Title: p40b climb at low fuel
Post by: ergRTC on July 08, 2003, 08:30:52 PM

You guys notice something strange with that?  Maybe I am just crazy, but it appears that decreased fuel has little effect on climb rate.  


Am I nuts?

check it out.
both are autotakeoff in same direction, picture taken at 3000 feet (and 3500 cause I was watching tv).  Controls untouched during test.  First pic is at 25%  the second is at 100% fuel.
Can this be right?

Which arena were you flying in?  I have heard that the TA doesn't take fuel load into effect in regards to range or FPM ratings.

Then I would suggest trying it again in an area of the CT where you can bugger about a bit.  Offline is no different than TA from what I understand.
