The A model came out with the 430 cayuna so the numbers wont be the same. with the 503 your take off speed should be around 40 -45 (for the first take off till you get some sky under you) Cruise around 70 + fuel burn 4.5 -5 GPH. The weight of the plane will affect it greatly. If it was bone stock and built light and it is around 420# or under you should have AWESOME STOL with it.

POH

Try that link. It leads to a document on the yahoo group site. I'm not sure if it'll work if you're not signed in.

On the subject of the 503, I wonder how much lighter it is than the 582. I have seen some figures but I'm not sure if they represented total FWF weight. It seems that there were a number of A models converted to the 532, but the 503 is closer to the Cuyuna in weight. About 10 more horsepower and still air-cooled.

A co-worker used to fly ultralights and put about 1000 hours on his 503. He had nothing but positive comments about it.
