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

The first test created more questions than answers
and much work to do. Here is my development log entry for the
flight.
Tracy
Can we assume this is the first flight of a Renesis by
anyone?
Did you do a static run-up? Were you really getting 6200
static on the old engine?
Good luck,
Rusty (flying rev-3 later- work permitting)
As far as I know it was a first.
I never did a static rpm test with the C drive because the wheels
skidded on the grass or the nose threatened to bury itself. Climb RPM at
120 - 130 was about 6200 rpm.

better)
