I would like to suggest that everyone on the Lightning list take advantage of one of the freedoms that we in the USA are fortunate to have - the freedom of flight. It is not my intention to turn this into some sort of political statement, but in today's world environment we seem to see so many of our national freedoms eroding, as some agencies in positions of power seem to react without really thinking of the consequences of their restrictions. So I suggest that everyone roll out their favorite flying machine and go flying today to take advantage to the freedom of flight that we all love so much. And take someone with you. It will make you feel better and put a smile on your face. You might even be able to look down and see someone looking up as you fly over, knowing that they are probably wishin g they were able to be up there with you. Finally, as we reflect on our nation's birthday today, 4 July, we should remember the sacrifices of those who made our freedoms possible. Our men and women in uniform have been the ones to keep us free and help ed make us prosperous. I am reminded of an old poem =93 attributed to Father Dennis O'Brien =93 and if it were written today, it would have a footnote to say "soldier" is meant in the broadest sense =93 to include all those in uniform: It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us Freedom of the Press. It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us Freedom of Speech. It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate. It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Fair Trial. It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who gives the protestor the right to burn the flag.

Steve (and all), Interesting way to measure your oil consumption, but hard for us to know how to compare that without knowing at what speed your aircraft cruises. At 50 mph that would be 9 hours per quart and thus great oil consumption. However, at 150 mph that would be 3 hours per quart - nothing to brag about. My 3300 Jabiru (in a highly modified Esqual - N31BZ) has 575 hours in 3 &1/2 years. From memory, It is serial number 843 and has solid lifters. Most recent annual had compressions all between 70 and 74, and that was measured with the engine cold. I figure I could have added a pound or two of compression if I had done the compression check on a hot/warm engine. There are no signs of oil seepage anywhere on the engine. I generally run my engine rather hard (read that as a little above 2850) and my cross country cruise speeds at altitude always work out to 160 to 165 mph true airspeed burning about 5.8 gph. I also seem to "miss my Pitts" and more than occasionally am at rather "steeper" bank and climb angles, but have never noticed a hot oil smell that you mentioned. I change oil and filter every 25 to 30 hours and generally find the "slobber pot" about 1/3 full at each oil change. Since completing the engine break in I have used only Aeroshell W 100 Plus. I keep the oil level between the half full mark and the bottom mark on the dip stick. My best guess on my engine's oil consumption is probably about 1 quart in 7 to 8 hours.
