I'll bet that still happens and you burned more gas than Gary's 150/150. grin grin


Congratulations, Rick and a toast to Hung on a couple of fronts.

That's because I was following you and had to fight against your wake. grin

Seriously, I think with all the monitors and analyzers in your plane, you can optimize the fuel burn down to the nearest atom, while I have to lean the mixture using my ears and eyeballs.

I finally found a home for Little Lily. She will be sharing a hanger at Meacham (Ft Worth) with a big ole Cessna 320. Little lilly and Sky King on Steriods. She goes for the fitting Thursday. Glad to get her out of the elements, after the big blow we had this week! Pics to follow. rick p

That's good to hear. With 38H in a hangar, I didn't have to worry whenever there were hail storms, strong wind, or lots of snow.
