That's also my best endurance, about 2.5 minutes per 1000 ft. Data was taken at about 3000 ft on close to a standard day with a weight of 880 lbs. My plane is a KR-2 with a 3 blade (tapered) Warp Drive prop, pretty much standard but does have the Diehl wings, tricycle gear without gear fairing or pants. Your results will surely vary.
