I wouldn't have a problem with that.  I'd like to go to FL and
witness some of the testing myself.

No need Perry. We are building a test stand down here as I want
to make it a dyno too. Mufflers, intake manifolds, etc., etc.. We will
use your blades as a prop load for the dyno.

IMHO Tracy is really too busy to spend a lot of time running his
test stand.

Well, that's even better.  I can be at your place in 6 hours non-stop
in my EZ.

I can pick you up in Camarillo as SZP is a bit short. 7000 feet over there.
What size are your tanks. Gallons per hour?

Paul Lamar

I flew non-stop last time, started with 45 gallons and ended with 5.
Had a tailwind.  I won't cut it that close next time, prefer to land with
10 gallons.  That trip was 6 hours and around 6.5 gph.  I plan with 7
gph and with 52 gallon capacity about 6 hour range with 10 gallon
reserve.

That 6.5 GPH is about 80 HP at BSFC of .50. How far is it to Fox from McMinville?

You got a big bladder or a relief tube. It will be awhile I will be in 
OZ through May til June.
