All,

I have a RV6 equipped with a TMX O-360 and a FP Sensenich 85" (should fly soon). I'm looking for approximate numbers for the following:

At %55 Power: Fuel consumption and speed
At %75 Power: Fuel consumption and speed

Any input appreciated
Leonard

cant give you the specific airspeed but I have an RV8 with the same combo
called the fuel company when I had 200 hours on the clock:
4800 litres =1200 gallons --- 24 litres/6 gallons per hour for my plane the local 6A I normally fly with uses a little more (1 gallon per hour)
