LPE'S ENGINE CONSUMES ABOUT 4 GALLONS OF FUEL PER HOUR

I have been reading all the negative posts during the long weekend. It started to bother me a little bit. So I decided to call LPE today to get to bottom of it. I called (304)-291-3843 and talked to Mr. Darus Zehrdack. The main question I had was whether the plane can indeed fly for 48 hours with 200 gallon of fuel. (Shame on me for not even thought about this question during the research period. Well I am not familiar with aviation industry -- I guess that's a good excuse.) Mr. Zehradack couldn't tell me exactly how long the plane can fly with 200 gallon of fuel since it depends on the weight of the plane, the position of the communication payload, etc. But he said normally at cruise speed the engine consumes 4 gallon of fuel per hour. 200/4 = 50 hours. Of course, the plane will consume more fuel during take off period. But the 48 hour (or even 40 hours is fine with me) estimation should be right.

Mr. BIG EYE, as a "POTENTIAL INVESTOR" spending so much time on this board. I would suggest you to pick up your phone and call LPE. Since you have experience on aviation industry, you can ask a lot more question then I do. I would appreciate it if you could post the facts you find during your discussion with LPE. Thank you.
