Cruise speed & fuel burn in Odyssey with HKS

[wsweidemann]

Greetings Odyssey experts,

According to the Earthstar web site that lists the performance of the Odyssey, the top speed and cruise speed are listed the same: 87 mph

This is great, however is this speed accompanied with a fuel burn of 2.5 GPH with the HKS or is a somewhat (or a lot) more?

I've been noticing a HKS powered Odyssey on Barnstormers that mentions operating at 70 mph at 2.5 GPH. I know that specs can be optimistic on paper, but where does the Odyssey really cruise and at what fuel burn? Or..is it a case of each copy of the same model having a different speed?

Thanks much, Skot

Hi Skot
The specs you are reading are for the Ultralight trainer were the speed
limit was 87 mph.
And yes it will cruse at that at 2.4 gph when set up properly.
Happy Flying
