That's 30 mpg going 180 mph, a pretty good trick.  20 knot tail wind?

     I finally made it home, 13 hrs. Hobbs time from Vegas to Vero Beach Fl. stopping only once in Olney TX. for fuel, sleep and help on my buddy's prop problem. 1900 miles in 2 days. Last leg at 15,500 ft, 1066 miles on O2 bottle trying to get around thunderstorms with 16 gallons left in tanks upon landing. Thanks to airflow performance and running close to 100 degrees LOP 160kts ground speed at 6.2 GPH.
     Before I get scolded for the wrong subject line. The co-pilot side Throttle Quadrant I received from Spruce # 05-15930. The pilot side was custom ordered from Baxter Quadrants Inc. in Renton WA. (who makes them for Spruce) phone # 425-226-0691 Item code S3R-F (custom reverse and nonreverse) with friction lock. My invoice# is 07-623 if you want to use it as reference. It looks like it will work great, I am going to fabricate a mount soon (after Oshkosh) and will send you some pics. if you wish.
