Well, that's a thought, Rusty. Perhaps I
could extend it to give warnings of leaking tires {:>). Glad it got you
home, replacing a tire out on the road has got to be more dangerous than an
engine out landing - at least there you only have one idiot to watch out for
{:>).
Well, 'bout ready to place my order for my Monster
76/88 prop from Performance Propellers. Tracy's is 74/88 but he feels that
with the 2.85 even longer diameter props can be accommodated. If too much
prop, Clark Lydick will trim the diameter. So will ship my RD-1B to Tracy
to have it converted to a 2.85 RD-1C after I finish attending a couple more
flyins in May. Hard to get his "vertical" take off out of my
mind.

Tightened up the belts and voltage was back to
14.6 and battery up to 12.8 volts, so all appears to be well. Glad it
was that easy.

Glad to
hear that's all it was. You may be the only person on the list with a
calibrated belt tension warning. Perhaps you can use this, and your
recent motorized intake experience to make a variable tension drive
:-)
Cheers,
Rusty (back
home, just barely. Tire went flat 30 minutes after getting to my
driveway last night)
