two hours is two hours.. regardless of where the wind takes you.. it's still
8 gallons gone out of 12..

Plan on 5 gph burn (more like 4.5 but be safe if you don't know the

Cruise between 2150 and 2250.


I set it at 2100 and expect 4 gph. I fly two-hour segments but of

can't account for the wind that precisely.
