Mine aren't quite that good but in the same ballpark. Typical cruise
conditions are 12,500 ft, 172 mph, 1965 RPM (at the prop) burning 6.5 gph.
That's with one of those presumably gas hungry Mazda rotary engines.

Well, some new numbers today.
I filed IFR to FL200 and then continued the climb to FL240. It took
awhile to get up there, but I made it. As it turns out, FL200 is the more
comfortable (for aircraft handling) and fuel efficient altitude.
FL200 WOT (13.8") 2400 RPM about 6.3 GPH IAS - 113K TAS - 160K
Peak EGT OAT - 40F
FL240 WOT (11.5") 2300 RPM about 6.3 GPH IAS - 92K TAS - 139K
40 LOP OAT - 28F
CHTs and Oil Temp were no problem at all altitudes.
I didn't have time to do a 10K' run to compare with Bill's numbers, but
I'll try that in the AM if possible.

Greetings Fellow RVers,
Quick Build RV-8 wings and fuselage are coming next week, so I'm finishing up on
the hangar. I got this new Rustoleum Epoxyshield garage floor 2-part epoxy.
The contractor used a cure/sealer on the concrete slab. Instructions from Rustoleum
say the product can't be applied over a sealer--must be to bare concrete.
The contractor said use muriatic acid to remove the cure/sealer. Rustoleum instructions
say not to use muriatic acid, instead to use the citric acid provided
with the kit. But the citric acid doesn't seem to remove the cure/sealer.
I will probably call Rustoleum tomorrow, but does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks, Chet

I rented a floor surface grinder/concrete shaver and ran it all over the floor
of my hangar prior to paint. Mine too was sealed and it seems to have worked
great. 3 years do far and no paint lifting.

Yes,
Do not use Rustoleum. It will chip and peal and come off from oil or fuel or
even just time. I know, I tried it in a garage.
Hire a professional you find on line to put on an industrial grade product. If
you search on line, you will find pilot / hangar horror stories as I did after
my first try. My second try with a pro worked fine.

Aviation Consumer did a comparison and report on hanger (garage) floor paint
a year or two ago.
