... I have had our 150/150 for many years. It is a solid honest airplane and I used it for 8.5 years to commute, about once/twice a month, from the L.A. area to the Eureka area. With the tip tanks this was a non stop flight with enough reserve for another hour. With the prop pitched for cruise, I was able to throttle back to 2100 RPM and cruised at 110 mph. At this setting I burned 6.5 Gals/hour I have a C-85 with 0-200 insides in my Luscombe 8E. I cruise at 110 mph and climb about 1000 fpm. I have a standard prop (1A90 at 7151). I burn 5.5 gph consistently. I carry 27.5 gallons of fuel so my range is longer than I can endure without a stop. I can carry 75 lb baggage, but it's hard getting 75 lbs back there! I do use my airplane to camp regularly. Deb -- 1946 Luscombe 8A (His) 1948 Luscombe 8E (Hers) 1954 Cessna 195B, restoring (Ours) Jasper, Ga. (JZP) |
