I flew solo Saturday (OAT 25-30 F): Maintained 85 MPH level cruise at 2450-2500 RPM.
I flew dual Sunday (OAT around 50 F): Airspeed 75-80 MPH/2450-2500 RPM
I flew Tuesday morning (OAT around 40): Airspeed 75 MPH/2450-2500 RPM
Tuesday afternoon (OAT 56 F): Airspeed 75 MPH/245-2500 RPM
Can the ambient air temperature affect speeds that much? I've seen airspeed differences in other airplanes -- but none this large a percentage of overall speed.
