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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:04:33 PM PST US From: Speedy11@aol.com Subject: RV8-List: Re: Performance Numbers - IO-390/Hartzell/RV-8 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv8-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV8-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv8-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv8-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
