range / speed

From the article:

The fuel consumption is projected to be 2.5 US gallons per hour
Fuel capacity: 13 U.S. gallons
Cruise speed: ... 124 mph
Range: ... 373 mi

Those numbers don't seem consistent:
13 gal / (2.5 gal/hr) = 5.2 hours
373 mi / (124 mph) = 3.0 hours

I have clarified from the ref that the claimed 2.5 US gal/h is when doing training circuits. The Rotax 912 burns more than that when flying cross country, closer to the 4.3 US gal/h that the math points to. - Ahunt (talk) 21:50, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
