These flow flows are pretty similar to what I see on my 914 Mono.  I have a
dual sensor fuel flow on my EIS and over the last 400 hours I have found it
pretty well "nuts on" for accuracy. - Paul

  Hi Simon,

  I wish they were.  I recently put over 1000 miles on N214KS and the fuel
required to fill the tank agreed to within .1/.2 gallons of what the gauge
said I used.  Plugs look normal.

    I think you figures might be a little suspect.  The Rotax 914 Operators
manual give Take off performance as 5800rpm, 39.9 inHG and 8.7 us gph.  Max
continuous as 5500rpm, 35.4 inHG and 7.2 us gph. (ref pages 8-2 & 10-1)
    Are you sure that your fuel flowe sensor is correctly calibrated?

    Are these airspeeds IAS or TAS?

      Duncan,

      I'm afraid this data will get rearranged but here it goes. This test
was done at 5500'  at a max weight of 1450lbs.  with very little deviation
---From standard day temp.  Airspeeds are within 1 kt.  These airspeeds appear
to stay constant up to 12,500 (the highest I've observed)

      1.   100kts, FF 3.8, RPM 4500, MF 25.
      2.   116kts, FF 5.0, RPM 4800, MF 28
      3.   129kts, FF 6.2, RPM 5000, MF 30
      4.   134kts, FF 7.6, RPM 5250, MF 33
      5.   140kts, FF 8.3, RPM 5500, MF 35
      6    148kts, FF 10,  RPM 5800, MF 40

      I'd appreciate if others would post there data.

      Ken
