andre_74 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Did a nice 55km XC flight with @steve342 today to Greenham Common. A bit cold, but super smooth. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - pretty much from Steve’s place. Taking off in nil wind with 11L of fuel was pretty tough though! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas_whitmore Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 How many Ltrs did you use Andre ' what about Steve's we've the same motor should give me a rough guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_74 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 We both used about 5L of fuel. Cruising with about half speed bar for me (Steve said he had nearly full speed bar on intermittently) and a slight cross-wind. It took about 30 mins to get there and about 25 to get back. Cruised around the Common for about 15-20 mins (and not in a gay way!! ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve342 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Cas, I plan for 4L per hr on the Top80 and usually do slightly better than that, it's probably closer to 3.5L per hr in reality but it gives me a fuel safety margin without doing the contorsionist act with the fuel tank mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas_whitmore Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Cheers Steve ‘ I was getting 3 ltrs ph ‘ if start using bar than as you say 3.5 to 4 ph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
