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.

Finn

Could 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?

Ed

Sure it would :) Look at all those brand-name new engines in their fancy tents that have never flown on an airplane...

As long as you show up we'll be happy. Just don't use the next version as an excuse for not showing up !
