RE: Long endurance plane?
I had a Sig Rascal with a Saito .56. Wound up keeping it aloft for almost 22 minutes one day while a guy dorked around with a ducted fan jet on the runway. Didn't worry me because that plane is a glider in disguise anyway. Anyway upon landing it still had just a bit more than a half tank of fuel..... and would probablly have had more if I hadn't done touch and goes for the first 10 minutes of the flight..... them smaller 4 strokes really do sip the juice.
