What speed were you cruising at. just curious Charles Burkholder Bancroft, Ontario My true airspeed at all the times that I was checking was about 158 mph. I was able to do that in some directions at reduced throttle with altitude and sometimes at higher throttle settings and mixture settings. Except for the high speed passes and a number of climb outs I flew most of the time at 2900 to 3150 rpm's, I did have a good time flying down the big lake North of Ed's place I'm guessing a good 20 miles at about 100 ft and i was indicating right about 180 mph at 3360 rpm. Dan and i did a side by side at 7500 ft and i remember I had 3340 rpm but i don't remember the exact speed indicated. I do remember that at no time on the actual travel legs was I under 150 mph ground speed. Not an exact number but burned 75 gal for a total of 15 hours is 5g/h average for the entire trip, or about 29 miles per gal. Avg. speed for the entire trip would be about 147 mph.(based on 2200 miles flown) I can live with that.
