about speed, and agree that's not why we built these Rebels. You
posted some good data, though, for those RPM's and speeds.
However, you didn't post your 2675 speed and just wondering what
that worked out to. Just curious, and not trying to force you to
go up again just for that if you don't have it. ;>)

I never cared how fast my airplane went and now
someone wants to know how
much fuel I burnt!!!!!!! You guys are getting toooooo
complicated for me!
))
Probably about 8USgph Dave!! I'll dip the tanks
tomorrow and see what I
burned. I think I can remember where they were before
I took off.
My prop is at 11.5* (with the protactor flush with the
tip end). I used to
run my 100hp x O-235C with the same prop set at 9.5*
