Whoa! Not so fast. Don't take it apart yet! Why can't you do several
flight tests? Just adjust it on the ground. Go fly. Land. move it an inch on
the ground, go fly, etc.

probably do that Finn. However, my primary objective was to improve my
take power performance, the ability to get more power at higher (flight) rpms
is secondary since, I seldom cruise any higher than 5500 rpm. Besides, I
need to get started on the next version so I can get it ready for Sun &
Fun. After all, it wouldn't do to show up with a variable length
manifold that wouldn't vary - now would it?
