P337 Fuel Consumption

How much does a prophylactic slow you down Kevin?
Bet you never measured it ? <G>

I rather doubt clean "boots" will take more than a mph off the airspeed. maybe more due to weight. Keep them clean and polished.

You will slow down a lot more in certain conditions when you do not have them. (that's why you do have them)

Running around it a "P", being used to its fullest extent, I guarantee you will be using them...

As far as a Aztec is concerned there is nothing aerodynamic on that aircraft including the wings. Kinda like a "beaver". <G>

A 337 is far more efficient than any other twin because there is less appendage out there to create drag.

Kevin, ur right, about 10 mpg is what I read mos of the time. That is when i am not flying into a headwind (5% of the time).
