 Today was a first for me.  I flew the Cozy today after
 doing quite a bit of work, replacing a fuel regulator
 and working also on a noisy wheel bearing.
 
 It was only a short flight, a half hour, but after
 landing, I have absolutely nothing to repair or
 adjust.
 Usually my ratio has been about 3-4 hours of tinkering
 for each 1/2 hour of flight.  Now all I have to do is
 put in more fuel and fly it.  The engine ran good, but
 still a little rich at lower RPM's.  No missing, no
 sags, and definitely no oil leaking out.
 
 It was pretty windy, and getting stronger, so I had to
 cut the flight short.  It was also too bumpy to do any
 tuning on the engine.  I tried once to make it a
 little richer, and ended up way lean after a bump.
 The engine started to cut out, and it took a couple of
 attempts before I got the mixture back to the correct
 spot.  I decided that I do the tuning another day.
 
 On the rich issue,I'm running the stock turbo
 injectors, which are 550cc.  I'm wondering if running
 the smaller, 460cc, injectors in the primaries would
 fix that problem.
 
 On the turbo front, I'm collecting parts to convert to
 a T4 turbo.  So far, I've got a SS exhaust manifold,
 and a Garret T04 turbo, which is .96 A/R on the
 exhaust side.  I'm now working on getting a waste
 gate, and exhaust flange.
