RE: G62 performance questions
I have basically the same set up on my TFGS Jug, but at 23#..
My G-62 has the Mag ignition and a Bennett muffler.
I had been running a Zinger prop, but changed to a XOAR 22-10, and it seemed like I had traded planes..
Good speed, climb, and plenty of reserve.. At 26#, your plane will fly OK, but that is a sizeable disadvantage.
The G-62 will improve dramatically with break in, the right prop, and a less restricted muffler...
