not a bad afternoon's trundle If I do say so myself.
98 litres of high octane avgas was all it took.


I'm puzzled, how do you figure 98 lters with a consumption of 20.2/hr
fot 3.5 hours? Also did you log time on the ground or was your plan
way out?

Cheers

thanks for that! I diddled myself out of an hour in the logbook.

the figures were figurative, some were beer blured :-)

work it out yourself as an exercise.

88 litres consumption.

you can have a beer out of your fridge if you work out the answer :-)
