Thanks for the suggestions, both on-line and off-line, for verifying the
fuel flow from a mechanical fuel pump.

The stall angle of attack for the new airfoil is about 14 degrees. With 3
deg of incidence. the nose should not go above 11 deg. Since fuel flow is
expected to decrease with additional nose up attitude (less head) just past
the expected stall angle seems like a very good place to make sure you h
Guys
I just finished doing a couple fuel flow tests. The first is in
level flight attitude from full stock Rand/Robinson header tank with 11.5
gal. gravity feed. The result is 22.75 gal per hour.
The second was also from full header tank but with the plane in a
12.5 degree nose up
Joe,
What size valve do you have on your header tank and what size fuel line
do you have running through the gascolator and to the Carb?
Thanks,

Thanks for the replies Guys,
I don't know the actual fuel consumption at full power but was at this
point guessing at 8 gph. max. I don't find any restrictions in the system
but there are more turns than I would have had if I had originally
planned on gravity feed. I will do more testing in differe

That's fine for a takeoff minimum but you may(will) find a time when
you're landing with minimum fuel on board and
11 matches
