Yes, TLAs can be a pain if you aren't familiar with them. Then again, I rarely feel I have too much information. :-) Matt |

My observers have said the same thing. I am fine at the end of a 3-3.5
hour run and they are dying. The key is pacing one's liquid intake. Michelle Matt Whiting wrote: Michelle P wrote: Jose, I started with eighty gallons of fuel. I was flying at six or eight thousand feet. Between 75% and 65% power. This puts fuel consumption is about 11.5 GPH. This gives me seven (6.95) hours endurance. I went six. With still nearly an hour of fuel left. You must have the long range bladder option as well. :-) I've found 4.5 hours to be about my limit. Matt |

Maule has no performance?
Michelle:
I also have a M-7-235B, 2005. I get about 15gph with 2300/23 typically around 3,000' mostly short trips. This gives me an IAS of 125k with -7degrees flaps. Of course, I'm looking at waysd to try and get better than 15gph. What settings are you typically using?

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 |
