For the peanut gallery,
I’m planning this flight for the coming week. Would you take this trip non stop? Recognizing that at least one direction I’ll have a headwind...
If you would, what RPM would you target? I’m pretty sure 5000rpm at 7500 makes it relatively comfortable from a fuel burn perspective but it’s obviously a bit slower and the engine doesn’t seem as happy at that rpm vs 5200+.
There are plenty of good airports I would directly over fly if fuel becomes an issue. But zero 91 octane mogas except when I’m basically there (Hershey PA).
One figure I haven’t sorted yet is fuel burn during climb out. Should I estimate 6gph?
Anyway, curious on longest legs and rpm settings folks use on long x country (for ar v12)
Thanks!
