Thanks, nice low winger--> I googled her.
I compared the 912ULS & 914UL´s fuel consumption graphics……..and at 5500RPM they are as good as identical.
After the 5500, the 914´s consumption sky-rockets, for obvious reasons.
Yesterday I got feedback from a local friend of mine though that the overall consumption of a 914 at the club is 33% more than the 912ULS, but flying faster; the difference is realistically 28%, approximately…………
Still quite a lot………..and this goes against the Rotax graphics, assuming you cruise under 5500RPM; only using the Turbo for take off´s or high altitude action.
