Went flying and camping this weekend with some of the SoCal Vans Air Force.  Gave rides to some college students bulding an RV-7 and camped overnight.  Did some form flights and flat-hatting over the dunes of pizmo beach.  Here are the pictures..
 
Drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the intake but still get what seems to be compressor surge - hole size it going to get bigger until I can get the right compressor on there - which I have decided is a TO4E "40".  Will keep the 60-1 around until I get the engine ported....
 
Still, able to cruise around at 170 KTAS and keep up (almost) with the 180 h.p. lyc guys.
