Rally2B Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Great article! I actually own this very aircraft N300BG and just completed a cross country trip from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma last week. It flew well and particularly enjoyed cruising at 2200 rpm (cruise pitch setting). The trip took around 13 flight hours and I made several stops along the way. The Grob can outlast me anytime when it comes to endurance! Thanks for posting the article. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xintersecty Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just curious do you have any stats about your trip? What was the flight distance, fuel consumption, and cruise speed? How many days did you take for this trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally2B Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 My trip was around 1100 miles as a made a few detours to stay away from busy airspace. Fuel consumption was 22 mpg and most of the trip was with light headwinds. I flew at 4500 feet about 11 hours or so and 2 hours at 6500 feet. Airspeed was around 90 mph most of the time. The one thing that surprised me was that the Grob could fly a lot longer than I could….my longest leg was 4 hours and there was still plenty of fuel for a few more hours. As for how long in days….I got a late start the first day (3pm) and only flew 2.5 hours. The next day I noticed a front blocking my way so I opted to enjoy a day off to let it pass. I then flew two more days before arriving in Tulsa around 5pm. I could have made better time and save a day by leaving super early each day but I was in no hurry. It was an epic trip and the longest I have ever undertaken in any single engine aircraft. The Grob is a good cross country flyer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xintersecty Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Thanks Rally2B! I am still looking for an affordable GROB 109. I am sorry to see this website go down. I hope there will be a good replacement in google groups. brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
