Hey George, good to hear from you. The Lycoming engine can get as low
as .38 BSFC when properly set up.
Hi Corky. You don't really believe that now, do you?
Those motors burn 8 to 10 gph near the ground - that ain't .38.
I'm getting set to do the ground runs on my engine and intend to run
it throughout the summer at high power settings.
Great! It took me a long time to feel confident about mine, but I
did learn alot, and am very happy with it.
Mounting on a trailer or truck lets you move around the countryside,
so you don't make everyone angry. (Even the airport managers would shoo
me off after a few hours of prop/engine noise).
We wish you well, and hope you can visit us in Florida someday.
We are near the SRQ airport, have a Mustang convertible to loan,
an extra room etc.
