Hi Listers,

The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner!  On 
December 1st I post a list of everyone that so generously made a 
Contribution to support the Lists.  Its sort of my way of publicly 
thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation for the Lists.

Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of 
Contributors?  As a number of people have pointed out, the List seems 
at least, if not a whole lot more, as valuable as a 
building/flying/recreating tool as a typical your magazine 
subscription.  We won't even talk about a newsstand price... :-)

Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming 
LOC?  Tell others that you appreciate the Lists.  Making a 
Contribution to support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa or 
M/C on the SSL Secure Web Site:

         http://www.matronics.com/contribution

or by popping a personal check in the mail to:

         Matronics Email Lists
         c/o Matt Dralle
         PO Box 347
         Livermore CA 94551-0347

I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a 
Contribution thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser!  Remember that 
its YOUR support that keeps these Lists going and improving!  Don't 
forget to include a little comment about how the Lists have helped 
you!  I love to feel the love... :-)

Best regards,

Matt Dralle

I read where the new Tiger will cruise at 143 knots and 10.7 gph at 75% power 
and 8500 feet.

So, this T-Day, on my way to SLC for dinner, at 8500 feet with an OAT of 11 
degrees C, I tried for 75% power.   I forgot to check the manifold pressure.  


At 8500 feet, 75% power, I could not get the engine RPM below 2790 rpm.   
Anyway, I could get my Tiger down to 11.1 gallons per hour.   TAS was 152 knots.



Under the same conditions except at 2700 rpm, I could easily get 10.7 gph.   
TAS was 148 knots.   

The flight to SLC took just a shade over 3.4 hours.   AUN to U42 is 430 NM.   
Average speed was about 126 knots.   

The flight back took longer, pushing a LOT of wind, flying through rain.   

Hope you all had a good T-Day.

PS, my granddaughter, who'll be 19 in a couple of weeks, and her husband, 
announced that she was expecting in May.   So, some time around the end of May,

I'll be a great-grandfather.    Cool, huh.
