I'm looking for a chart or table or something that describes the fuel usage
in climbout and descent. I want to know how much fuel to allow for taxi,
runup, and climbout.


My '69 model burned about 9 gph climbing at full rich, full throttle. Operation at
about 1,000 rpm (descent & taxi) seemed to be about 4 gph. Cruise at 6,500 burned
about 5.6 gph. In general, I just planned for 6 gph for trips. Seemed to work out
right. Most of my trips were taken at or below 6,500'.

been looking for it.
