Default 150 mpg

Try the above link! based on 75% cruise and .40 SFC (I'm using rounded
figures here) it would us less than 1 GPH to attain 125 mph cruise and it
is flying! He cannot sell plans/kits because the manufacturer of the
engine refuses to let him use it in the plane for, what else, liability!
The same company supplies engines for racing go-carts that have people
lying prone on their backs doing 100+mph, go figure.

Kind of OT but interesting. Would this meet ur requirements? It'd sure
'fly low' on 20 HP.

If they can make a vehicle like this why can't they make an equivalent
bird (speed and HP)?
