Actually it goes through more than 4 feet of SCAT tube. This setup is
terrible. I thought about the high pres in front of canopy but that would
mean going through instrument bay. Not an option. I'm going to go
back to a ram air scoop again but on left side (so I get to do all the
fiberglass work again).

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.

Renesis
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)
