Subject: | More Speeds vs. RPMs |
As a follow up to my 14 October message, here are some additional numbers to
go with those previously reported, Actually, I will just repost the
previous numbers and add the new ones:
N31BZ was at 2,500 feet MSL, density altitude was 3,880', with an OAT of 77
degrees F.
2850 rpm = 150 mph true airspeed and 142 mph indicated. fuel flow = 5.0 gph
2950 rpm = 156 mph true airspeed and 156 mph indicated. fuel flow = 5.6
gph
3050 rpm = 163 mph true airspeed and 153 mph indicated. fuel flow = 6.4
gph
For the additional numbers, altitude was again 2,500 MSL, DA was 3840', and
OAT was 76 degrees F.
3150 rpm = 169 mph true airspeed and 159 mph indicated. fuel flow was
8.8 gph
3250 rpm = 175 mph true airspeed and 166 mph indicated. fuel flow was
9.9 gph
3300 rpm = 180 mph true airspeed and 170 mph indicated. fuel flow was
11.1 gph
Note how much the fuel flow goes up when above 3050 rpm.
3350 rpm = 185 mph true airspeed and 175 mph indicated. fuel flow was
11.9 gph
(yes, I know that is above redline)
Other thoughts: N31BZ has a solid lifer engine, serial number 843, with
about 492 hours total time.
I was about 250 pounds below gross weight for these
flights.
When I did several of the runs again at near gross
the speeds were about 2 to 3 mph less.

Thanks Linda,
the build is coming along just fine.? Had a great 2nd week here at SYI and will
be back here on Nov 3 for final build week.? The paint scheme turned out nice
and the instrument panel which got installed today is really sharp.??I also hooked
up with Steve today to go over the interior.? Still alot to do, but looking
forward to my first flight.
Paul
