Hi Svein,
I have the std restrictor, so I guess its the same as yours. I think that
compared
to the 'average' K factor figure for the actual fuel flow rate at taxi and
under full power are probably out, but for an 'average' flight - which accounts
for my airframe drag, prop type (I've a fixed pitch warpdrive) and the power
settings I tend to use, the average useage stacks up (now) with the observed
consumption based upon measured full tank and bowser meter quantities to refill
it. I do get a readout of about 9lit/hr at idle and just over 20 at full
power - and a readout of around 15lit/hr in the cruise around 115kts.
I simply dial in the known quantity in the tank into my Stratomaster at the
beginning
of each flight (if I've added fuel). I did try to get it to sense the
actual quantity in the tank using the fuel probe, but never got it to work.
