Scott, What powers settings are you using? I too have the O-200 and my range is about the same as the published numbers for the C-75/C-85. I run around 2400-2450rpm with a cruise around 100-105mph. I average about 5.2 to 5.6 gph(a few times it was down to 4.8). If I fly at 2500 rpm my fuel consumption goes to about 6 gph and I only get about 1-2mph. Not worth it in my opinion I think the O-200 coupe is great! With the cold MN winters here, and just me in the plane, the thing climbs like crazy. Last week I had about 1/2 fuel and I climbed out around 1400 fpm. In the summertime when I'm at gross and it is hot(90 +) I haven't seen it any lower that 500 fpm. As for speed it is respectable, not the fastest coupe, but not the slowest either.

But for normal every day flying around, I dont find the O-200 to be very efficiant. I am hardpressed to get mine below 7.5 gal/hr. I have the marvel carb too. > Scott > N94428 > ========================================================================== == == > To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm > > > ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
