I think you figures might be a little suspect.  The Rotax 914 Operators
manual give Take off performance as 5800rpm, 39.9 inHG and 8.7 us gph.  Max
continuous as 5500rpm, 35.4 inHG and 7.2 us gph. (ref pages 8-2 & 10-1)
Are you sure that your fuel flowe sensor is correctly calibrated?

Are these airspeeds IAS or TAS?

Duncan,

I'm afraid this data will get rearranged but here it goes. This test was
done at 5500'  at a max weight of 1450lbs.  with very little deviation from
standard day temp.  Airspeeds are within 1 kt.  These airspeeds appear to
stay constant up to 12,500 (the highest I've observed)

1.   100kts, FF 3.8, RPM 4500, MF 25.
2.   116kts, FF 5.0, RPM 4800, MF 28
3.   129kts, FF 6.2, RPM 5000, MF 30
4.   134kts, FF 7.6, RPM 5250, MF 33
5.   140kts, FF 8.3, RPM 5500, MF 35
6    148kts, FF 10,  RPM 5800, MF 40

I'd appreciate if others would post there data.

Ken
