Hi Folks:
Had a great flight to the Rock House. Airplane and pilot did good. No
problems.
Total trip duration: 21 days (4 west and 4 east)
63.2 total flight hours: 28.7 west
27.0 east
7.5 local at Rock House
294.2 gal fuel (primarily 100LL)
Fuel cost: $1,825.17
Did not have to add any oil (zero oil usage). Did change oil, 3 qts and a
filter, at the Rock House.
Averaged 5.0 GPH west/5.5 east. Cruised 5,000 rpm west/5,200/5,300 rpm
east.
Flew 4,637.9 miles: 2,040.3 west
1,997.6 east
600.0 local (at) Rock House
Had good weather entire flight, but pushed headwinds west and east.
Headwinds on long cross country flights tend to wear one down. Tailwinds
make us smile.
Take care,
john h

Wow. Remarkably consistent. Nice going. About a 10% loss in GPH for 200-300 rpm increase.

I flew out the southern route and came back the northern route. A couple hundred miles shorter coming through Kansas, but more head wind.
