Jabiru Fuel Consumption - WORLD RECORD

[BigPete]

OK, OK,

 

I know this is a huge claim - one that I'm not very happy about.

 

You see fellow aviators - I decided (on a whim) to count up all my fuel dockets (and by cross checking my flight records) and work out overall fuel consumption for my J160c since I bought it back in Feb 2006.

 

I've checked and double checked and can't believe the result.

 

Average fuel consumption per hour is.....

 

11.25 liters.

 

You don't beleive it....

 

I don't, but its true.

 

I have a deep feeling that my tacho is under reading by 200 RPM - I will check it very soon (gotta Melbourne trip first(by car)).

 

If this is true - I've been tootling around at 2600 RPM????

 

%^$#@#$##@!!!

 

I'll let you know

 

regards

I thought your speeds were down a bit because I a have had lots of people fly my aircraft and report 100 to 105 IAS at 2800? Ah well Pete that will be a good thing if you suddenly gain an extra few knots :-)

Except than in the process he may have glazed a few cylinders up. I know we had a 200RPM error to begin with.

 

I now have 2 out of 6 that have gummed up rings and will be probably removing all six anyway and re ringing, plus port polishing the heads.....few more HP in that job...hehehehe
