Thx All. Did about 5 short trips with it (1 hour or less) and then headed to Rosedale, MS. This morning at 9am to look at piece of equipment. 535 nm landing on a 12’ wide cement runway, used by a crop duster on the edge of the town. The closest real airport was Cleavland (KRNV) which was 22 miles away. Averaged 145 knots GS at 8500 on the way down with a 20 kt push. I ran just 30.5 “ manifold because the prop needs more pitch. Came back low to duck out of the headwind. About 8.5 hrs total flying time with some deviation on the way home for moderate precipitation. Nice crosscrountry machine.

Beautiful bird Scrapman. I posted some photos of your airplane on a Light Sport group on Facebook and they fell in love with it pretty quickly. They thought it had the best interior of any LSA they had ever seen.

Scrapman, did you need to fuel enroute?

I had plenty of gas to get there without stopping, but since there was no fuel for me at the crop dusters runway, I stopped 40 miles north of there and topped off. It took 23 gallons. This way I could fly halfway home and then stop for gas, to complete the return flight. As luck would have it, 75 south of St Louis I got into a 40 knot headwind and some precip, so I diverted a bit west to Quincy and topped of there, so would have plenty of fuel to get home.
