Bill,
Thanks for your input. Each data point is valuable and informative.
160 KTAS is impressive for 1950 RPM. I'll try the same parameters next
time I go flying and report back.
Stan Sutterfield
I've got a WW 200RV, RV-8, Superior Airparts IO-360 w/ Ryton exploding
sump, lightspeed II ignition and I generally run 160 knots TAS 10,000
feet, 6.5 gph, WOT, LOP, 1950 RPM. Everything else about the airframe
is pretty much standard. I'm very confident in that 6.5 GPH @ 160
knots TAS figure. I'm not as confident in other power setting since I
generally just run in the econo cruise @ 160. As the fuel burns off I
generally pick up 2-3 knots from the reduced weight.

Matt,
I didn't mean to insinuate there was an odor to your numbers. Rather the
stink is on my numbers. I can't seem to reach the numbers that other guys
can.
I'm still working on it. The stink, that is.
Stan Sutterfield
So I could smell the disbelief in the air regarding my performance claims
