Fuel Burn

All,I paid extra attention on a 3 hour flight today to my fuel usage. Just under 3 hours on the Hobbs, slightly under 15 gallons fuel. Four take offs, climbed from 4500 ft msg to 10,000 msl on one leg. RPMs were around 2600 for the most part. Air speeds in the 100-110 mph range with prop set towards Cruise. Climb speed around 90 mph. Beautiful, chilly day for flying Idaho, Wyoming border. The engine is a 350i. Hope you are enjoying your UL Power and Cruizer as much as I am enjoying…See More

Pitch &UL 350i

After over 100 hours I finally got around to playing with Sensenich ground adjustable prop. Just grabbed the skinniest adjustment bolt and changed the prop from middle of road setting to climb. Went from 2750rpm on climb out to 2950. Climb angle is a lot more fun, slow but steep. Pulled over 3050rpm on level flight at 6000msl. Been pulling around 2850 max. Much slower airspeed and cylinder head temps quickly started to climb. Never would have believed the change it made. Spring winds are…See More
