-------------- Original message from "Jason Hutchison" <Hutchison.Jason@mbco.com>: --------------

A group of us flew out to LOE and then up to ABQ. Thought I would post some numbers from the trip.

 

We flew between 10.5 and 11,500 feet for most of the trip. Full throttle I was indicating 155-160 KTAS and between 19-20 inches of MP.  I averaged about 2-3 gallons more fuel per leg than a RV-7A (IO-360 with C/S prop). I think the most impressive part of the trip was leaving Pecan. I was able to do a full throttle climb to 10,500 and temps never got above 185 degrees.
