I just did a non-stop flight in my Ovation from KBDH in Minnesota to KFHB in Florida in 5 hrs and 47 min. Flew at 15,000 feet blessed by a nice tailwind and running Lean of Peak. TAS was 163 kts, Fuel Flow 10.2 GPH at wide open throttle (16.9" MP) and 2400 RPM. Ended up using 65.7 gallon for the whole trip. Mooneys are fantastic travel machines!! Without winds flight would have been around 1 hour longer: ~6:50. I have done a few other non-stop flights with a crosswind (negligible head or tailwind) as well in 6:50. Running lean of peak allows for quite long legs at altitude! Here are a few panel pictures taken at the same time during the flight. Video coming sometime soon....
