NetHeads,
Today I flew for 3 more hours. Mostly I just did "slow flight", playing with
GPS courses, and averaging about 120 mph at 2200 rpm. I stayed up for 3 hours,
and landed with half a header tank, about 4 gallons. That means I burned about
4 gallons an hour at 120 mph, but that's with t
Mark,
Have you flown with the added test weight of a passenger yet?

Well, part of the "40 hour restriction" is that you can't go out of a
certain radius from your home airport (usually 25 miles, but 40 in my case)
and you can't carry passengers. I expect to be done with that before the
Mark; I think what was being asked was, have you ridden with some ballast in
the passenger seat, not have you had a passenger in that seat.
Couple of sacks of sand, or sack-crete, or something you can secure with the
seat belt, just adding weight till you get something significant there.

Oh, sorry. Of course I have. Full gross of 1200 pounds. It really didn't
seem to make much difference, but I don't have a "lot" of experience with
full gross yet. That'll be coming soon. Ge
Hi;
Nice going, Mark! I'm following your progress with bated breath! As I'm
