Here are some numbers from the last 2 days of flying.    

   

75 deg. Outside air temp.  

2500 ind alt.  

3570 density alt (from Dynon)  

117kts ind.  

125 kts true (from Dynon)  

137 kts gs.  

30.07 bp.  

17.4 mp  

2200 rpm  

50% power  

Gross weight   2100 aprox  

   

9.1 gph.  

   

69 deg. Outside air temp  

2440 ind alt.  

3480 density alt (dynon)  

121 kts ind  

128 kts true  (dynon)  

30.08 bp  

123 kts gs  

18.5 mp  

2200 rpm  

53 % power  

Gross Weight 2550 approx  

   

   

9.4 gph.  

   

One thing I have learned flying this great airplane is that Fast is directly related to fuel burn. I was reading the specs. on the Columbia 400.  Top speed was something like 285mph.  and a fuel burn of 25.5 gph.    

   

I can make the 10 go fast when I need to – high fuel burn 19 gph or so.  On most days I fly slower and enjoy the view.  The beauty is I have a choice with this plane.  If you want 172 fuel burn but 25 kts faster you can get it.    

   

I will repost with some high speeds and altitudes.
