Default RE: Calculating Flight Time/Fuel Consumption

the WOT method for me doesn't even come close, I fly lots of 3d stuff so a fair amount of my time isn't at full throttle. pulling out of a hover is about the only time, other then that it is half or less. learn to hear your lean engine, I can usually pick that up on most of my planes with a minute or so of above idle throttle left, enough to get a nice landing in.
