We hope that everyone enjoyed the event. It was a lot of fun to construct and fly because the West is such a beautiful area with dramatic vistas all around. And it proved instructive to think about fuel economy as well as throttle-to-the-firewall pure speed. Great stuff all. ]]> Around The World Race/Multiplayer Events MM http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?79006-Western-Roundup-Congratulations Floaters Down Under http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?78852-Floaters-Down-Under&goto=newpost Sun, 02 Jun 2013 04:03:38 GMT Now that the Western Roundup is about over, we decided to try out some flying boats for a bit. I got to thinking about the crocagators down there and figured I'd best go with something with boolits.

I flew the first leg of the Gold course in the A2A Accusimmed P-40. I was curious if it would have the same fuel issue that the P-51 did with Duenna. I will just fly a few legs just to get some averages for flight data, unless you guys would like me to fly the whole course for your data collection.

Here is the data. Duenna did in fact have the same issue with the P-40 as it did the P-51. Excess fuel returns to the P-40's reserve tank and in a sense is 'refueled'. The fuel tank arrangement is different than the P-51, I taxi/takeoff/climb on reserve for 10 mins, then switch to main tank, then back to reserve once main is exhausted. Like the P-51, I don't fly with the aft fuselage tank full because it adversely affects CG and handling. I used max climb power of 35" 2600RPM Auto-Rich and max cruise power setting of 27" 2300RPM Auto-Lean. The P-40's Allison is quite a rugged engine and could handle max climb power for the duration of the cruise easily.




Fuel weight: 288.0 lbs (-315.0 lbs)
315*.06=0:18:44

Summary:
Direct distance: 166.9 nm
Flight time: 00:52:02
Baton time: 01:00:21
Average GS: 192.5 kts
Valid: not valid! (errors: 1)

CYPS 00:52:02 | 0:18:44 | 1:10:46
