NOTE: Due to the diversity of the early models, it is not possible to
have a condensed section of systems and V-speeds. Maximum
GTW’s range from 2,300 to 2,550, Max GTW’s in the Utility category
range from 2000-2100, and maximum horsepower ranges from 150
to 180 depending on model and modification. Pay close attention
to the airspeed indicator as some are calibrated in both KIAS
and MPH. Which indication is on the outer scale of the airspeed
indicator varies by airplane.
