Test flown the 185 this morning, first flight with a 20.5 x 10 PN, about 7,000 on the ground with slightly rich setting. Changed to a 20 x 10.5 PN from the second flight on to put in more flight & break in time before switching back to the bigger prop. First impression, very effortless for up line & good, slow down line. After about a 9 minute flight on P-15 & a few F maneuvers, it still has slightly less than half a tank of fuel left on a 600cc tank. Since the whole morning was pretty calm, it will be interesting to see how much fuel it'll consume on a windy day. Will fly again tomorrow for more evaluation.
