Happy New Year
I am now out of phase 1 flight test and would like to compare my performance data with others but cannot find much posted so far. I found one post from 3 years ago but if there are others I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
I will submit my basic numbers so far but I have no idea if they are good/bad or indifferent.
I am flying the stock 390/Hartzell 2 blade with dual pmags, jumpers in and timed as per Brad's expert instruction. Using the Garmin lean assist in the G3X system. My speeds are low because I don't have all my gear fairings finished yet. When I have to choose between building and flying well you can guess which wins out if the weather is halfway decent.
6500 ft OAT 50F 23/2300 25 LOP 10.2 gph 154 kts, oil temp 190 and CHT's
320's
6500 ft 23/2300 50 ROP 11.2 gph 160 kts. chts 330's but
oil temp creeps up to 200
6500 23/2400 25 LOP 10.7 gph 158 kts all temps fine
6500 23/2400 50 ROP 11.7 gph 162 kts chts fine, oil temp
205
I'll stop there but I have way more where that came from.
The fuel consumption seems higher than what I was expecting.
I'm a little worried about the oil temps when running ROP.
Thanks in advance
