Michelle,
I was trying to be funny. What I was kidding you about is that the tailwind probably didn't help you get to 6 hours. Maybe helped you go further in that time, but as far as I know, the engine doesn't know if it is flying in a tailwind or a headwind. Brad "Michelle P" wrote in message link.net... Brad, I have done it because it can. I plan for 15 Gal/hour and it flies about 12.5 gal/hour according to the Shadin Fuel Flow. I still had 10 gallons left upon landing. about 45 minutes. I like to have an hour in the tank when I land. I have pushed it to 45 minutes if necessary. Michelle ( girl) Brad Salai wrote: "Michelle P" wrote in message link.net... ... . I have run the aircraft for 6 hours strait without stopping with a favorable tail wind. I'm glad I didn't say that. And in THIS group, boy are you going to get it. You better brace yourself! Brad
