Fuel flow
 
RV-14A. Andair electric pump with wing-root mounted Andair gascolator (70 micron mesh). 1.5 gallon fuel in the the tank. Fuel line disconnected at the FM-150 fuel servo and tied up on that level.

Level flight attitude and 15 degrees nose up (mains on the floor and tail on the floor). Both attitudes: around 36 GPH.

Please put your mains on blocks and tail down to get to 20 degrees or more nose up. I would love to have those fuel flow numbers.

Will be interesting to know what is the degrees nose up at Vx (70 kts). Maybe 20 degrees, maybe more.

Andair fuel flow
 
I got around 50 GPH when I did my fuel flow test at just over 16 degrees nose up, hose disconnected just before the fuel servo. The Andair data sheet says open flow of 55-60 GPH @ 5 PSI.
