Another source of information that may prove valuable is "Flight Testing Homebuilt Aircraft" by Vaughan Askue and published by Aviation Supplies and Academics. It covers this subject and many others. I am in the beginning stages of "adopting" a project that has the boat, spars and tail feathers complete and this reference (plus others) will help in decision making during the build (as will the wealth of knowledge on KRNet).
I got my copy through amazon for about $20. Happy building and flying. Mark W. N952MW (res.)

Gist of the responses was to provide a temporary alternate source of fuel for the engine to run full power; catch the pumped fuel from the regular system at the carb and measure the quantity after a two minute run; then do the math for gallons per hour. Of course, be extremely careful with the alternate plumbing around the running engine and prop. Also tie that beast down! Would not be the first time a full power run jumped the chocks.
