Matt, you said "Let's see: % of HP = GPH * 14.9, so figure what the power
level. "

Deakin says
"Multiplying the fuel flow (18.0 GPH) by 14.9 (the constant for this
engine), we know this is 268 HP, or a whopping 89%."

It's HP=GPH*14.9
Not % of HP = GPH * 14.9

And that relationship holds LOP ONLY!

Argue with Deakin, not me.


268 of 285 = 89%

Still the same ****head you were a year or so ago, huh?
