Just parked my unpainted 9A on the ramp at KEYW next to a new Cirrus. I got 3 complements and a thumbs up - he got a big fuel bill.

I have not balanced my injectors. Have given it some thought, but never moved on it. Any suggestions on who could help with a project like that?

He didn't say at what altitude (A lot of flat landers never get above 5000' :o)... that makes a huge difference. |

Normal cruising altitude for 13gph/170kts is 7500-8500. That seems to be the sweet spot. Can go higher and save some fuel, but most trips are 1 hour or less.

You guys are making me want to sell my RV-7 tail kit and start on an RV-10 :-)
When I bought my tools and eventually my RV-7 tail kit, It was just my wife and I. Now, I have a beautiful 9 month old daughter. I told my wife that I will probably start on an RV-10 once I get the -7 built. Ha. Of course, I also said a few weeks after my daughter was born that when she turns 15, I'll give her the choice of my buying her a car or a Cessna to learn to fly. Those RV-10's are probably the best value for performance and load thats on the market. That design would make a fantastic certified aircraft that would probably outsell the Cirrus. |
13,500 msl 9.5 gph Had a bit of a tailwind :D Somewhere between SLC and Torrington WY |
