This is the performance worksheet for the two place Nuthatcher. This is at gross weight of 1300 pounds.
It also comes up with a economy Cruise speed of 88 miles an hour at a fuel burn of 3.5 gallons per hour. That means in no wind conditions you're getting 25 miles per gallons.
If you slow to 80 miles per hour the fuel burn drops to 2.9 gallons per hour or 27 miles per gallon in no wind conditions.
Because I've been conservative with my numbers the odds are good that the performance will be better than what the worksheet shows. To give you an idea of the size of the airplane it'll be approximately 18 ft long with a 30 foot wingspan. Just a little bit bigger than a Kitfox or Avid Flyer.

No it is not, it's a spreadsheet that a EAA member worked up for poeple to use. Rich has taken real aircraft data and came out with nearly the same performance numbers as the real aircraft.
We both agree that it will give you am idea of the performance an airplane design will have, it's handy for working out design changes.
