  My ES holds 92 gallons of useable fuel.  Considering 6.5 hours flight
  time he would be burning 14.1 gph.  I have the TSIO550E engine which is
  the same as the Columbia 400. I don't think I could or would run this
  lean.  Even considering the LOP procedures this is very lean in my
  opinion.  He must have had a great tail wind.  It would have been a
  great flight in a IVP during the same day.

  "Additionally there was an small article on the latest from Lancair
  Certified.  It seems that their Company VP is bragging about his
  non-stop trip between Bend, Oregon and Fort Worth, Texas.  He is just so
  proud of their 400 going that distance in approximately 6 1/2 hours.  I
  guess he has never taken a Lancair IV-P.  I just made the trip from
  Redmond, Oregon to Fort Worth, Texas, non-stop in 4 hours and 27
  minutes.  Not bad for a home built plane.  I guess we should let him
  know somehow.  Perhaps we should challenge them to a race to Sun &
Fun...what do you think?
