Keep in mind that I normally fly at 3500-5500 msl. I anticipate lower fuel burn at higher altitudes. I'm planning a trip to Galveston in October and I can try out this theory then. So which CS prop did you end up installing? An IVO by chance? Also, is you TAS in Kts or mph? Thanks for the great update! dl **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
