Rpm during flight at 2150 done at 7500' x QNH 1024 temp at that altitude was 20C
The speed on the way out to FAPY was 139/141 knots and the return flight was 150 knots, therefore and average of 145 knots.
The flight was started on the LH tank, till established over the FASY field when the RH tank was selected for the purposes of measuring fuel consumption.
After returning from FAPY to FASY, the LH tank was selected to do a preliminary climb test, this revealed that by the time we passed thru 10K' we were still doing 600'/min calculated from GPS markers.
Then slow rate of descent to enjoy some speed and the circuit was joined on downwind for 31. Speed management is getting easier, but the numbers were eluding me, resulting in being a little fast (85knots) at the 200' mark. just at the point of deciding that a go around may be Ok, I felt that the throttle was still partly open. Remember that there is a 90 deg X-wind and my eyes are nailed on the runway. So when the "throttle" was fully closed, it became quiet with immediate effect. Concentrating on the now dead stick landing, this worked fine, albeit a little deep. Soon as it was stable on the ground, I nudged the mixture back open, cranked the starter and was up and running immediately. Hindsight shows that I could have taken off again had this been necessary.

After Flight Inspection:
still an oil leak.
