Rotax 582 consumption

[Av8r_Sed]

I burn about 4.5 to 5 US gallons an hour at 5800 RPM. That gives me a little under 80 mph cruise.

Hello!

Here my sparks after 30hrs. 2 Sparks are little brighter than the others.
I cruise often by 5400-5500 rpm with 13-14 Liter/hour and 75 mph. Last flight I cruise by 6000 rpm with 17 Liter/hour and 85-90 mph. GSC 68" Prop.

oil only used Bombardier XPS mineral -
second choice Castrol Super 2 stroke. Use this for the rotary valve but in all premix engines

Here is a little video of mine from a Kitfox III with 582 and 68" 3 blade GSC with 18 degree pitch by round about 5800 rpm static.

For info, my IAS is circa 10 mph less than a PA18 and Kitfox IV which fly byside.

Those are looking good Olle. 25 hours, or more?

[Olle1975]

Thanks, round about 25 hrs, not more, during winter and spring.

Hi Olle, thanks to you for another excellent video which i enjoyed watching soon after you put it on youtube keep posting your videos as they are much appreciated although i do envy you the weather you get to fly in,i am in Wales and all we have is one low pressure after another so crap for flying.
Cheers mike

Thank you, Mike!

The weather was much better than it looks like. I had a view with more than 10 miles but the sun was in front of me and the camera had to control the white-balance between desk and window. I think this is the reason why it looks foggy or misty.
