Greetings,

 

I had another trouble-free 1.5 hours today, with no leakage or problems of any kind.  That brings the total to 36 hours.  Won't be long now. 

 

I made note of the MAP reading of 26" in climb at about 1500 ft, and 120 mph.  No doubt in my mind that the ports on the TWM TB are just not giving  a true MAP reading.  I couldn't get a WOT run because I'm not willing to do that at low altitude, and the ceiling was 2000 ft.  Mostly, I just droned around at 5000 rpm, and about 150 mph, looking at the blue tarps, and down trees on the paper company land. 

 

Cheers,

Rusty (not going to make Lake City)

 

That's great news, Rusty.....perhaps you can make the short flight to St Elmo airport and visit/inspect my 13b powered SQ2000 soon and get a free lunch !   Yes, there ARE such things as free lunches !   Glad to hear you are able to just fly and enjoy your creation.  Paul Conner
