Tracy, Did Shady Bend get flooded with all the rain that I read about? Bill Schertz KIS Cruiser #4045 N343BS Phase one testing Completed -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 5:03 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Test Flew the RV-4 to Copperstate flyin over the mountains a couple of times. Cruised at 15,500 ft which is where the fuel economy gets good. I plan for 25 mpg and typically get around 30 at that altitude. Cruise speed was around 175 mph TAS at 6.1 GPH on my last trip there. Have been to 19,000 but the engine was feeling pretty anemic (as was the pilot). Don't ask, it was a 'never again' story.

If so, how did they handle the density altitude? Give us a little lowdown. (highup??)
