Default New (old) bird

Yeah. The Tecnam salesman I was flying the Bravo with was sure to point out
that it burned about 3.5 GPH at 4600 RPM and 105 KIAS. (I haven't seen
anyone claim 3 GPH for 120, but it won't be long before someone does, I'm
sure.)

Even 5.5 GPH for 115 KIAS in the Zodiac is a nice number...
