NSEMN8R 0 #1 November 8, 2016 My plane is a '57 182A with a Horton Stol Kit. With the original 0-470, I get from 600 msl to 10000 msl in about 25 minutes and we burn about 8 gallons per load. When I'm cruising at 23 squared I indicate about 120kts and I'm burning about 11gph. I just sent it in for the 280hp pponk upgrade. Can anyone who's had this done give me an idea what I can expect for cruise and climb performance and fuel burn when it comes back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chips26 0 #2 November 11, 2016 We had one done on our widebody last summer. It would do about 800-1000fpm up to about 5 or 6k (taken from my N2), starts to taper off after that. Thats with a pretty conservative pilot as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cepq 1 #3 November 11, 2016 We own Cessna 182 J wide body with PPonk IO-520, 300 HP, ART extension wings, our field was 1000 msl and we jumped at 11500 Msl, always 5 jumpers on board, 21-23 min. 65 liters per hour avg 13 jumps per hour with first class pilot, 11 jumps per hour with conservative pilot. With our regular O-470, average was 7 jumps per hour for 50 liters/hr. Burn more per hour but less per jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
