That's a no brainer!
Well, now you're in MY wheelhouse! g
Whatever would get approved ...AND get, say, 3 gph fuel burn? Is that close
to possible with an RV-3(B) ...at 138+ mph cruise speeds?
750 lbs empty weight.
Engine .................................125 hp ..............150 hp
Top Speed ........................195 mph ...........207 mph
Cruise [75% @ 8000'] ......185 mph ..........196 mph
Cruise [55% @ 8000'] ......166 mph ..........176 mph
The thing stalls at 51 mph, so that's within LSA limits.
