This looks like fun. It's 140 mile trip for me and I'm planning on going. Maybe we can get some good 12 representation... http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showpost.php?p=1094919&postcount=2

Weather for this weekend looks excellent. Hope to see some 12's at Jamestown on Saturday for their 1st annual RV fly-in. This will be my longest XC to date in the 12. Flight planning for 7,500 MSL to confirm Van's published performance specs.

I'm building a 9A in Jamestown and can't believe I'm going to miss this. I'm in Daytona this weekend taking my son to college. Oh well maybe next year.

No, too busy talking to everyone. Weather was perfect, about two dozen planes lined the perimeter of the ramp, good food, nice people. Only one other 12 besides mine. Doing it again next year...

We saw 115 mph IAS and 130 TAS @ 7500' and 5200 RPM. Fuel flow slightly less than 5 GPH as measured by sticking the tank on return Vs. Hobbs. D-180 showed 4.8 GPH at the steady state listed above.

About 350# of people, 17 gallons fuel, and 15# baggage. Wheel pants installed. Smooth ride...
