REFLECTOR: Value

[Joel Smith]

Being a little surprised at the quoted fuel burn of the Columbia 400's 
TSIO-550-C for that cruise speed, I went out to their site to take a 
look. They have the manual for the Columbia 400 online. I just finished 
reading and found it to be an interesting modern day certified manual.
