I'm curious as to what the community has discovered re ground speed of these two planes.
I'm contemplating a world trip, and can't decide which to use. In the Strat recently I got 308 knots
in cruise at 25k from YPAD to YBAS. So I'm wondering what the Connie gets. I've only flown it once,
and that wasn't at altitude.

Re: Best Ground Speeds B377 Strat or Connie
Hi.
If you are thinking of a world tour , then my personal choice would be the connie , its more reliable easier to takeoff and land , but shorter range and slightly lower max alt than the B377 and sperry autopilot needs constant adjustment over the better autopilot of the B377.

I do want to do a World Tour series for my channel. I'm tending toward the 377 as there hasn't been too many World Tours done in it thatalan CXA651 wrote:Hi.

are commentated the entire way. I just wanted to know the ground speed at cruise in the Connie at altitude. I found the autopilot
in the Connie.... um... tiresome lol

Re: Best Ground Speeds B377 Strat or Connie
I was showing 360 MPH ground speed on a flight this weekend at high altitude and a 36 knot tail wind. I think I was at 30" and about 2,200 RPM.
