Thanks for your hints.
I have assumed that the difference of consumption would be reduced operating the Rocket at 65% power, 9 gallons per hour, compared with 8 gallons for the normal Skyhawk, no?
I understand that the engine is a Continental 1500 hrs TBO compared with Lycoming 2000 TBO for the Skyhawk ( new overhauls now are at 2000).However the fact that it is fuel injected and not carburetor (no carburetor ice problems) and the extra safety in the take off and climbing is important for me, not being a very experienced pilot.
Cruise speed would then be 115 k instead of 100 for the normal Skyhawk,no?
In any case I can assume the performance of the Reims Rocket is equl to a Skyhawk xp, no?
