Your fuel burn is very close to what I predicted. I calculated 6.7
gph at 4,000 RPM and it looks like you were at 6.2 actual. That
probably means you could increase your prop pitch by an inch or so and
still make 6,000 WOT.


I wonder what the impact of burning off 50 gallons of fuel will be. The
tank holds 100 gallons, but there certainly is no reason why I would
want to transport that much fuel. Keeping the tank half full will save
about 320 pounds of dead weight.
