This is very sad news. Thanks for all your help Carl.

Thanks Judi. I couldn’t find anywhere that clearly states my membership has expired and I paid $100 on Sunday evening, Saturday for the US and still don’t have access. If you can help, that would be great!

Could the admins please update my access so I can view the forum? Is there any chance of automating this process and not having to pay with PayPal?

Hi Rory! I’m in Brisbane and own RNS. I was gutted to miss out on KEF! I also bought mine during COVID. I love your colours and paint scheme! Send me a PM if you like and we can chat over the phone. I also know a good friend with a 114 in Albury/Wodonga. Welcome to the club! Mark

I missed this - could you put me down for one please? What’s the price again please? Thabks!

Judi very kindly sent the attached document through which gives some performance figures. I have to say I am a little surprised the aircraft isn't faster up high given the reduced drag... maybe someone with a normalised engine can comment?

I think we're all on the same page here :) Thanks for the explanations guys, appreciate the responses. What I was saying is that the engine will make 28.5" at any temp but because of the high temps here, the DA incurs a 10% penalty immediately. Then again, that's only in summer so on cooler...

Doesn't the normaliser normalise it to sea level? But if your sea level is 35* OAT then your DA is already 2400' (20*C difference x 120'/*C) even if at sea level. In order to actually get sea level performance, you're going to need to turbocharge it and have a higher intake pressure and...

I haven't flown much in mine but with OATs of 35C, the density altitude here is a killer. I was at 3000' and max throttle and is was really anaemic. It seems boosting the engine is so much easier than the engine swap and if one is putting a turbo on anyway, would it be that much of a step?

I saw some figures in there and it made me wonder - is there an STC for a turbocharged 114, not just turbonormalised? It wouldn’t take much boost to get the same power as the Super Commander.

I’m in 100%. What would be the timeframe? I’d like to get all the components in about 6-8 months and ship them here for assembly.

I’m also interested in being added to a list for a HS option for my 114 SN 14312. Thanks

Hahaha - thanks for the welcome. I can see though that for both of you, your excellent taste in aeroplanes doesn’t extend to your appreciation of one of the best teams in the NFL. It’s ok, your’re welcome to make your own mistakes! Go Pack, Go! RNS has a few cosmetic issues I intend to address...

Hi folks, I am mightily proud to join this group as I have taken possession of a Rockwell Commander 114, rego VH-RNS here in Australia. I bought her from another member on here. I collected her on Saturday and have about 4 hrs under my belt and hope to increase that steadily in the coming...
