Dear Listers,
As I write this its still November 30th so technically the List Fund Raiser
is still underway! :-) I've gotten so many nice comments from Listers in
the last couple of days along with their Contributions that I just had to
share them with the Lists. Guys, I really appreciate the kind words and
great support that has come in the last few days.
If you've been meaning to support your Lists this month but have just been
putting it off until the last absolute minute, now's a perfect time to make
that Contribution!
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
A special thank you to everyone that has already shown their support. I'm
compiling the List of Contributors and will post it in a couple days. In
the meantime, please read over some of the nice things people have been
saying about the List along with their Contribution...
Thank you!!!

I believe that my carbureted, 150hp 0320, at 8,000 feet, 2,750 rpm, full
throttle is putting out about 75%power. I spend little time at that
setting. Based on math below about 8.4 gph.

Hi Len,
A couple of things might be conspiring to confuse the issue.
If you did numerous takeoff/landings, your burn will be much lower than
at cruise because you are in the pattern at reduced power much longer
that you are at full power for climb (except for a long climb for high
altitude cross country, of course). Also, most people don't run at
anywhere near 75% power at cruise. I've flown 160hp engines in 3
different homebuilts + 1 factory plane & they all burned around 9gph
when flown at 75%. One of them was injected with a c/s prop & when run
at 2400rpm up at 8000', it only burned around 7.3gph (but that ain't
75% power). I've had 1 180hp c/s prop & it burned 10gph. All had much
lower burn numbers when there were a lot of t/o & landings on a tank of
gas, often as low as 6.5-7.5gph.
Check the Lyc Manual to see what 75% power settings really are (most
people are shocked). Fill both tanks, take off on one & climb to
~8,000', lean for cruise operation & set cruise power. Start a timer (or
look at your watch) & switch tanks. Fly for say, 1/2 hour without
changing altitude, throttle or rpm settings & switch back to the other
tank. Return to the airport & top off the 'cruise' tank. Now do the math
& you know your real 75% cruise fuel burn. Should be around .45*actual
hp/6. For a 160, 9gph; for a 180, 10gph. Slightly better if injected
and/or electronic ignition.

Larry,
Yes. A few years ago but I would guess it has not changed. Went for their
annual Fly-In. Really nice with overnite lodge accomadations/restaurant or
camping. If I have my 40 hours flown off when you go I'd like to go with you.

Larry,
A bunch of us Ohio Valley RVators flew their last year.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OhioValleyRVators/
Nice place! We just went for the day but it is a great place for a weekend
getaway.....boating, fishing, golf......like a little honeymoon.....with the
guys.....ha ha.......or just take the wife. Might be nice to do a group thing too.
Right around the corner in your RV.
Also keep Dana's little get together in mind for next year too. It was at the
end of February in Kentucky......must have been about 90 or so RV's show up.
Indy Gang, Team RV, TVBG, SERV, and Ohio Valley RVators.

Servers,
I have to write to tell everyone traveling thru So GA about a great fuel
stop I found today. Moultrie, GA (MGR)is a great stop! Gas is 40 cents
less than any stop around here, full serve, extremely helpful (they'll offer
you hot coffee, cake, cookies, popcorn, or even some soup while you wait,
all complimentary). If you are passing thru this area this is a must stop!

Len,
I think that "Speedy" (Danny Kite) is planning to fly some Young Eagles in
Greenville on Saturday. I told him I would try to be there (around 9 AM) if
possible (good weather and my partner doesn't plan to fly elsewhere).
We also have our annual "Fall/Winter Do-Little Fly-in" at Do-Little Field
(just south of Columbia) starting around noon on Saturday (burgers, dogs and
flying "activities").
Just and additional something to consider if the weather is good.
James
