Hi, Ed....sorry, but I haven't flown off the 40
hours yet. I have been doing a LOT of ground running, aborted takeoffs,
etc. I have ran the engine until water temps hit 240 degrees 4 times in
the last 4 days, and absolutely no signs of vapor lock. (prior to
modifications, I could induce vapor lock consistantly at 230 degrees). I
finished the RAM air cowling scoop, and almost finished the aluminum
throttlebody extension scoop (just needs to be welded), and a few more attempts
at fine tuning the injector open times (mixture), and it should be ready for
another flight test. I already have more power than previous runs, and the
engine is running great with the new injector, so it should fly even faster than
before, and if the ram air scoop functions as I would hope, I should be flying
off the hours rather rapidly. (On my first LongEZ, I flew the 40 hours off in
the first week, putting 10 hours in on one Saturday). If the final
tweaking is successful, I plan on doing a LOT of flying. A 6000 foot grass
strip would be no problem at all, as long as the grass is kept short. How
wide is it? Maybe I could land on cross wise if the grass is not
wet. (kidding). I hope you have a fun time at Tracy's and at the fly-in.

[FlyRotary] acetone ?
Well, since I was afeared to jump in the fray
over shut-off valves and EWPs, I just kept my mouth shut. But, looks
like its settling down again. {:>). Heading to Florida on
Friday (weather permitting) to drink some of Tracy Crooks Beer and talk rotor
talk - Oh, yes to attend the Leeward Ranch RV Flyin. Any of you folks
going?? Got a 6000 ft grass strip so even you turbocharged canards could
get out of it easily - we know that Paul wouldn't have any trouble landing
cross wise given his recent experience {:>). - Got those drawers
cleaned out, Paul?? {:>)

The last email I received was at 9:46 PM
yesterday and was about acetone; either someone somewhere spilled some of it
on our server; or this list has gone quiet, all of a sudden. If I have
offended any of you out there to the point you have simply cut me off all
this good info, I apologize, sincerely, no less. <g> THIS IS A
TEST.
