Well I have about 9 hours in the 182 SMA seems to be a Good Engine,
Very Odd Fuel Burn...

Full Power 4 3,000 FT hours Burned 45 Gallons Jet A
Full Power Another 4 Hours 1,500' Burned 31 Gallons

Boy, would I like a 280 to 300HP version for the Deb.

POH Supplement Says The Fuel Data/Range Is Not Approved. I can see
why...

I have a few other safety issues I will explain later... will post
updates as I go and A conclusion.... With all issues.
