Set a personal speed record today in the Blackwing 
Damn, that thing is fast. Rotax 914?15?
Island of Rab in Croatia, picture taken from 6.000 ft – a bit high but it is what it is.
Indeed fast @martin-esmi ! What speed would you see flying level at that altitude & power setting?

It is fast! This is the BW635RG, which means it’s the turbo equipped Rotax 915 iS.

It’s still very new to me, so I can’t speak out of experience yet. On this trip (ESMI-ESSL) at FL105 we saw a TAS of 182kt at 83% (we pushed it a bit). At 3000ft and 75% we had a TAS a bit above 160kt.
A view that several of you have seen in real life – the town and harbour of Mali Lošinj seen just after takeoff.
