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 N119ST @ 2W6 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:08:10 PM PST US From: Gary Vogt Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Jaguar performance 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.

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.
