Rusty sold it to an A&P (Richard Nadig) which sold it to me.

Not sure what to tell you about the numbers. I typically cruise at 7,500 or 8,500 and burn 7 to 7.5 GPH doing 160 mph. I guess I could lean it a bit more, but pretty happy with those numbers.

Not flying as much as I should considering I now have it under my house on the runway.
Mostly fly between Clearwater and Shady Bend. Did fly to Sun'n'fun Saturday.

I was just on the old Matronics list for RV-3s and saw that you had e-mailed “Rusty” back in 2001 when he was just beginning his RV-3 w/13B project.  Didn’t you end up buying that a/c from a succeeding owner after he sold it???  :)

Are you still flying it?  

If so, what are some of the performance numbers of it with a 13B engine?

thanks.
