Ron, when you did your overhaul and upgrades, did you add a relief tube?

It's great flying east. I flew my 7 from AZ to VA a couple years back averaging 220 plus knots at altitude. Soooooo Much Fun.

It was 4 hours, 37 minutes. That's an average speed of 202 MPH. I burned 40.4 gallons for 23 MPG. I have a 5 gallon header tank in the forward baggage compartment. Total fuel = 47 gallons. I ran at peak on EGT with CHTs about 360 degrees.

Man that's amazing! I couldn't do it, about two hrs tops is my limit (health wise)
Even when I fly 4 hrs+ in the jet I drive I have to get out of my seat and stretch my back, I envy those who can sit tightly packed in their RV for that long, I can't - 
Many years ago a pilot friend of mine said why don't you fly large corporate jets? Simple answer, today's Globals go away too far on one tank of gas..lolol |
