Tracy,
You commented that you were not getting as high a manifold pressure as = you=20 wanted, and that the intake air went through more than 2 feet of scat tubing= (if=20 I recall correctly)=2E Since your TB is on the side now, can face backwards=20= (toward the firewall) and be plumbed to an intake right in front of the cano= py=20 since that is likely a high pressure area (where all cars get their ventilat= ion=20 air from)?
Just a thought to help avoid more fiberglass work=2E
Bill= Schertz

The first test created more questions than ans= wers=20 and much work to do=2E Here is my development log entry for the=20 flight=2E

Tracy

Can we assume this is the first flight of a Renesis by=20 anyone?

Did you do a static run-up? Were you really getting 6200=20 static on the old engine?

Good luck,

Rusty (flying rev-3 later- work permitting)

As far as I know it was a first=2E

I never did a static rpm test with the C drive because the wheels=20= skidded on the grass or the nose threatened to bury itself=2E Climb RPM a= t=20 120 - 130 was about 6200 rpm=2E

Tracy (3 hours on the Renesis and things are getting=20 better)
