Guys,
What a great day! 60 degrees and west wind not to strong clear
blue sky and finally caught up at work.
I did one long flight for 1.9 hours and explored the effects of
fuel burning off in the header tank, some adjustments in the control
systems, slow cruise flying mostly120 to 130 mph today. I also did a
rough check on the fuel usage. I have 3.5 hours this week with a multiple
of speeds and 6 take offs and landings. I burned about 17 gal. which
averages out to just over 5,5 gal/ hour. I love it. I have at least 1 1/2
hours of fuel left in the header tank right now. That is 5 hours of
steady flying and I'm sure that will be long enough for my kidneys. Man I
love this plane.
Although I have to say it is a hand full and more when it is
rough on finial. And I sure did float a long ways this afternoon on the
first landing. The nose was way up where there was no way to see except
out the sides and it just hung there for the longest time and I had to
keep dancing on the rudders and ailerons way to long.
N357CJ -- 13.2 hours and counting.
