Finn:
Can you post some performance numbers from your RV-3?
I restored a “3A” w/O-290”G” (alternative engine :) ); and I flew it for a year while putting 50 hrs. on it. I routinely would cruise it at 2300-2350 rpm which equated to about 140-145 mph, and when leaned out the fuel burn would avg. 4.9-5.1 GPH, and it topped out at about 185 “mph" at 2,800 rpm.
I’m curious how yours performs w/ the 13B; and I imagine it will be much closer in performance to an O-320…
Thanks for any info.
