River crested at Shady Bend today at 17.74'. The road to my house is at 18' so it was a close call. My hangar floor is at 24.5 so no problem there. Now I'm just hoping for no more rain in the river basin for 2-3 weeks while the level goes back down to normal.

Cruised at 15,500 ft which is where the fuel economy gets good. I plan for 25 mpg and typically get around 30 at that altitude. Cruise speed was around 175 mph TAS at 6.1 GPH on my last trip there. Have been to 19,000 but the engine was feeling pretty anemic (as was the pilot). Don't ask, it was a 'never again' story. > > Tracy > > > > Sent from my iPad > > On Jul 2, 2012, at 3:06 PM, "Bill Bradburry" <bbradburry@bellsouth.net> wrote: > >> Tracy, >> >> Have you flown either of your rotarys up there?
