| Subject: | Jaguar performance |
Several years ago I figured that Gary's new cowl=2C which I had already bee
n interested in for years=2C could push the performance of my Tiger over th
e hump to reliably make the commute from the Florida panhandle to southern
Maryland in one leg. The numbers after installation showed exactly that=2C
but today I finally flew the flight. KDTS to 2W6 direct for all but a sho
rt vector around the restricted areas at Eglin AFB=2C 685.6nm by the GPS=2C
at 11=2C500 in 4.3. Of course that was wind-driven=2C but the calculation
s show that throttled back toward max range I'd make the no-wind trip with
VFR reserves.
With the Jaguar cowl I consistently see 5 KTAS over the book values and jus
t before descent was showing 142KTAS at 9.7gph at 11=2C500.

Brian,
Thanks for the info. That is pretty consistent with the 5 to 6 knots that Jeff
sees.
During the early flight tests on your plane, circa 2002, I did two back to back
runs at 2725 rpm and averaged 148 knots TAS both times. Typically, the speeds
were in the 145 knot range.
When you get a chance, set up for 130 to 132 knots TAS and then lean for best
lean at around 5,000 feet. I'd be curious about your fuel burn. I was able to
get down to 7.8 to 8.2 gph.
Gary

reliably make the commute from the Florida panhandle to southern Maryland in one
leg. The numbers after installation showed exactly that, but today I finally
flew the flight. KDTS to 2W6 direct for all but a short vector around the
restricted areas at Eglin AFB, 685.6nm by the GPS, at 11,500 in 4.3. Of course
that was wind-driven, but the calculations show that throttled back toward max
range I'd make the no-wind trip with VFR reserves.
