The real "jewel" has been the c/s prop. This allows me to cruise
at around 10.6 gph at 4200-4500 rpm, 153 TAS. Until recently, I had been
cruising at 5200 rpm, burning 14-15 gph. Speeds are about the same.
Keep in mind that I normally fly at 3500-5500 msl. I anticipate lower
fuel burn at higher altitudes. I'm planning a trip to Galveston in October
and I can try out this theory then.
So which CS prop did you end up installing? An IVO by chance?
Also, is you TAS in Kts or mph?
Thanks for the great update!
