skykrawler Posted June 18 Report Posted June 18 Snip: Conditions: just me in the plane (but it behaves this way with a passenger as well), full tanks (burning the left side first), 8500ft, WOT, 2500 RPM 8.5 GPH 117 KIAS These are curious numbers. I can only presume you have leaned LOP and then some. I don't consider my airplane particularly fast compared to some numbers reported here, but I just did a trip at 9000ft similar power setting indicating 131kts - but higher fuel flow. One thing that should be checked is to make sure the gear are fully up and the doors reasonably tight.
