Found the photos from my single engine minimum fuel flow test. Photos attached, looks like I ended up at 14.7 GPH on the rear engine to just barely maintain altitude close to Vx.

I'll try it again during the winter months sometime soon and see if I can get it down any further with cooler air available. And maybe see if I can maintain altitude at Vy for a little less drag.

Thanks for the pics Ryann! I always say, if there's no pics then it didn't happen!

Low observable loiter

Once upon a time, I heard that a three letter agency has a 337 that provides top cover comms coordination, during certain circumstances, that powers waaay back, with low RPM, and goes for hours and hours and hour
