We've been too busy enjoying ourselves to do any difinitive fuel flow tests
with 'XDY (although it is one of my near future plans)
What I can tell you though is that many times in our 75 hours so far I have
checked the fuel consumption between refilling the tank and I keep coming up
with the same figure of 10 litres per hour when flying at between 4500 and
4600 RPM. (That's what I call real economy).
We have seen virtually no oil consumption and in fact no work of any sort
required sinse we started flying, except for Mod 46 and a couple of minor
personal mods (fuel pump warning light etc.).
