But I didn't still disagree. I ended up making a lengthy post about the problems involving both sides of the question, to which you wouldn't take part, except to say you believed one side and had no problem. I'm sorry to keep bringing this up, but we obviously have different definitions of "black & white".


And you were right to.
I forgot to note that 15 knots really is not the best fuel, its just a decent trade off for speed and fuel esp when in transit to area. 10 knots will still get you better range in TMO i've found, just use the use the button that gives you max range at speed.I usually if far from base cruise in at 15, then drop to 12 knots to conserve fuel but cover patrol area on a reasonable time table.
