Is 120 knots IAS @ 65% possible with an Archer II. I have 160 hp Warrior which indicates ~100 knots at 65%. Wondering if the extra hp of the Archer and maybe a set of speed pants would get another 20 knots. On a long x/c I often find myself going into a 20 knot headwind and a GS of 80 knots. I am not a speed demon, but watching cars pass me is kinda demoralizing. I like my Warrior, but need more useful load.
