Performance on paper
Published figures are for gross weight, sea level and standard conditions. Maximum speed is 142 mph with optional wheel fairings (3 mph less without). Best rate of climb is 631 fpm at 89 mph. Service ceiling is 10,950 ft. Stall with flaps down is 55 mph and landing roll is 535 ft. Real airplanes vary with engine and airframe condition.
Weight, fuel and loading
Gross weight is 2150 lb and standard empty weight is 1275 lb, leaving 875 lb useful load. Maximum baggage is 200 lb in 22 cubic ft, with limits when family seats are fitted or the baggage area is modified. Fuel is avgas only, minimum 80/87 octane. Oil sump holds 8 quarts. Check the actual weight and balance report.
What to check when buying
Confirm the airplane has its own FAA-approved flight manual and weight and balance report, since the handbook says it is incomplete without them and the flight manual governs in any conflict. Check whether wheel fairings are fitted, as book speeds assume them. Review current airworthiness directives and the engine's condition.

Safety notes
- The handbook is incomplete without the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual and a weight and balance report; the Flight Manual takes precedence.
- Use avgas only (minimum 80/87 octane). Use the manual only for airplanes within its stated serial number applicability.
- Range figures assume 48 gal usable fuel with no reserve, so plan your own fuel reserves.
