Had a nice trip to Reno and except for the very sad and unfortunate
death of Gary Levitz (which I happened to view while taking pictures
underneath Pylon 1) we had a great time. The Coupe did great except
for one thing- fuel burn.
Coming back to Redmond we burned close to 6 gallons per hour. Why I
don't know for sure.. there's no obvious leaks and the engine seemed
to be running just fine. Stayed cool with plenty of oil pressure and
normal oil burn. We were flying fairly high, 8500', most of the way
and with being wired full rich maybe this did it?? At higher
altitudes without mixture compensation will a C-85 burn this much
fuel?
Thanks folks and "Keep em'Flyin'!"

Oh, any of you know where to order a decent differential pressure
compression tester at a good price?
