What are the V speeds for an American Champion Adventure 7GCAA? Any other information on flight characteristics and technique would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
V speeds for a Citabria?? Nahhh, don't need 'em! I'm not a high time taildragger pilot and only have around 80 hrs in a 7GCAA... but I usually don't even look at the airspeed indicator while I'm flying it. I just go by the feel and sound. That's the beauty of a ragwing stick-n-rudder taildragger, who needs gauges?

Oh, but you do have to use the rudder. Lots and lots of rudder.
 
Vx 58 mph

Vy 69 mph

My manual recommends 60-65 mph for engine out glide, but doesn't specify a best glide airspeed.

Vne 153 Mph

Vno 12 Mph

Note that these are mph, I assume that the new ones have AIrspeed inindicator calibrated in KNots.
