How is your cruising speed with a kitfox 2 in calm air and without volcano...

For me about 80 mph at 5300 rpm is it good or bad ?

Today small navigation with 2 other airplanes (Savannah ) was magic for me ...

Thanks

Speaking of speeds, I would like to add to the question. For a Model 4, marking the airspeed indicator what is the Vne, cruise speed range and the flap extension speed? -- Thanks, Chuck:confused:
