I flew a Cessna 206 to BBQ today and we were burning 14gph at times doing 135kts down low. It was just wrong from an RV perspective...
My RV9 was on the right wing sipping fuel, having a coffee break.
Don't mess up a good thing .
Thanks for the info. I haven't heard of one either but had to ask.
I have an O-360 too and have never seen 175kts at 75%. I cruise at 2400 rpm (fixed pitch)
and get about 161 kts. with about 9 gph. I don't run LoP.
And at least one with a 180 hp Titan IO340!. . .There are a number of RV-9's and -9A's with the (I)O-360 parallel valve engines.
