Default FT-300 fuel consumption

Can you give me an idea of the fuel consumption rate for a Ft-300?

We really haven't any specific numbers on fuel consumption for the FT-160. We generally get about 15-20 minutes at full throttle on a 24-ounce tank, depending on mixture setting.

Thanks Bill. Would it be reasonable to assume that since the 300 is roughly twice the size of the 160 that the fuel consumption would probably be about twice. Therefore given your example, a 24 oz. tank would give me about 7 to 10 minutes at full throttle or about five 10 minute flights out of a gallon of glow fuel................not a cheap engine to run[]

Big engines never cost as low as smaller engines to run. When you start getting into large glow engines, you'll find that they all are quite thirsty.
