What airframe is it?   Glastar 2 place
 
What is the cruise speed? I think he said 130 knts\ 60% power

What is the fuel burn at that speed? About 7 per hour. He also said he had plenty of engine left but the plane would not fly
any faster. -----Original Message-----

I visited with a local NSI subi builder here in Austin on Monday. This

guy has the most hours on a NSI conversion. About 735 hours in the last two years. He has had a couple of failure due to assembly errors by NSI in their last days. His engine is a modified 4 cylinder turning

about 200 HP. The package uses a single radiator with 735ci core and a

small oil to water cooler. He has closed the space between the two air

duct feeds to the radiator and attempted to radius the bends in the lower cowl ducts. I am amazed he is cooling as well as he is. He reports climb temps around 195-200 and cruise at 180 on hot days.

There might be a simple explanation for his ability to cool.

What airframe is it?     What is the cruise speed? faster. What is the fuel burn at that speed? Thanks,

Charlie
