Bill,

 

You will have to tell us more about that trip.  You had a lot of weather from the looks of FlightAware.  What kind of performance were you getting?  On FlightAware, you claim 146 HP.  Where did you get that number?

You seem to have arrived in Montana just in time for winter!  :>)

On October 1, I moved my plane N343BS from Illinois out to Stevensville, Montana. 15 hours flite time, had to start off by going South to get around a line of storms, then turn north. Spent two nights on the trip, because of a front that moved through Billings, MT.  Strong headwinds on the section from Pierre SD to Billings.

 

Engine just hummed along, plane gross weight (myself + friend) and all our stuff was ~2300#
