Dennis,
Very nice!! I was wondering about the parameters (ALT, MP, RPM, etc), but saw those in the picture (6700 MSL, about 23 squared...good stuff!). I've re-posted that pic here, so I can follow it with some others (hope ya don't mind!)
Those are very close to the numbers I see at the same settings, so it sounds like the S7 and S6 are nicely matched! I don't have pictures of that regime, but here are some pics from a recent X-C to the Rocket 100 race in Taylor...it'll give you another look at how great your plane will go X-C!
13,500 MSL, WOT, 2100 RPM, LOP = 187 KTAS (215 MTAS) @ 8.9 gph!
24 SMPG...@ 200+! 4 cylinder RV's can do better (MPG-wise), of course, but fly-along fuel flow when flying with RV bro's is surprisingly close.
With my legacy Dynon and VM, it takes 2 pics to show what you show on 1 screen, and its not quite as purty as yours (I have EFIS envy!
). Here's a shot looking out on this leg, which was 595 NM from Beaver, UT to Brownfield, TX, done in 3.1 (including taxi); fillup was 27.63 gals (22 NMPG, 24+ SMPG).
You
will enjoy those Cross Countries!
Hey, speaking of races...can Dennis come out and play next spring?
(Shhhh...be vewy, vewy qwiet...we aw hunting Wockets!
)
Have fun with your new machine! Sure is a beauty!
Cheers,
Bob
