Hi Ellery
With your 447 at 75% power ( about 5,100 rpm ) Whats your fuel
consumption???

The ROTAX Operators Manuel on the KODIAK RESEARCH site states 5.3 (at)
take-off performance... ( I assume this to mean full power at 6,800 RPM)

and lists at 75% power ( 5,100rpm ) a burn rate of 3 Gallons Per
Hour....

Is this your findings here in New England ? And do you find the 447 to
be enough
motor for your Firestar or fly --- Which do you fly???

Thanks
Mark

Hi Ellery
That's decent enough...

So using 3.5 per hour would be a good estimate for XC use
That leaves you some full power climb and reserve wiggle room... Cool

On a stable day roughly what's your ground speed at 5,100 rpm ?
And lastly what's your Gross Weight .... You said it was a FAT
firestar ?

Also I see you have one listed on the BarnStormer is that the FAT
one????
Why you selling??? For that matter Why are a lot of KOLB owners selling
???
is it a SPORT PILOT rating issue????
