Ron,
All I know is what I've been told by another guy who has an O-290-D2
powered RV-9 (Tail wheel), like what I'm building. His empty weight is
998, and I suspect mine will be a bit higher.
Van's lists the cruise speed for this combination as 175 mph. From what
I keep hearing, Van's numbers are usually on the mark.
Also, the prop makes a big difference. Craig Catto cut one for me that
he suspects will get me to 180 top speed.
With all that background info, I sure am keeping my fingers crossed for
a 75% power 175 mph cruise. The GPH thing, well that may be a bit
optimistic but then again, I'll be burning regular unleaded in that 80
octane, low compression engine
Bill

I was told by many people including the folks at the EAA that handle the
autogas STC for certified planes, that with my 0-320 160 HP engine I
would
need at least 93 Octane autofuel or av gas. I ran 87 in it for a month
or so
when I got it and at times I could hear some pinging so the 93 makes
sence
to me. No pinging or other issues with the 93.
Bill, off topic but do you really think your bird will go that fast on
that
engine and with that fuel burn? I have had 2 other planes with 0-290
engines and both burned between 6-7 gallons per hour at best. In my RV-4
I
am burning nearly 7 gallons per hour going 170 mph.

I'll bring your wing stands and other stuff you left with me.

Great! We will start at 8:00 AM. I'm planning on leaving to take Mike and his
motorcycle to the Harley shop at 9:00 when they open. Should be back no later
than 10:00.
If you are finished with the buffer bring it. If not I will wait till you are
done with it. I use it on the cars. No hurry though.
See you tomorrow.
Steve

I took mine to the prop shop at Burlington, they even sent the bill to the
prop maker so it cost me nothing out of pocket. The guys there know how to
do a good job and unlike Wendell, they return phone calls
