I have had a Titan I (23' wing) with a Jab 2200 and also have a Titan S with the 2200 (23-1/2' wing), both airplanes cruised between 105 and 110 mph where others with the same setup were posting numbers of 115 to 125? go figure, I don't even think I could hit 125 at wot.

Don't remember exactly, but when I was ferrying 972SS from JD's place, the cruise was around 105 indicated (that was with the IVO prop on it). A couple times I went to 110 and that felt like I was pushing it a bit hard (seems my SS has a little more drag than the other ones probably due to the wider/taller cabin).

So, 110 mph without burning a whole lot of gas is pretty good if you ask me.....

Any suggestions of why I'm not getting the speed that others tell me I should be getting. They tell me I should be cruising at least 120.
