Ed, good morning.
I noticed your statement, "This is pretty much what
Tracy reported when first flying with the Renesis engine - tight engine, more
power, more heat. So it appears that this engine is much tighter. I
can now maintain level flight burning 4 gph when it used to take 5.5 gph.
Can't wait until its broken in a bit more to see what the top end is.
Overhaul kit from Real World Solutions and parts from Bruce T appear to have
come together in a tight nit engine."
Are you flying with an RX-8 Renesis engine
now? or just relating your experience with a tightly overhauled RX-7,
comparing to Tracy's RX-8?
And, I liked the picture of your engine mount
(photo you sent of the "engine hoist" at the "emergency landing" airport when
your apex seal peeled back). It doesn't look like you use the aluminum
plate between oil pan and housings. Have any details you could send about
your "attachment point adapters"?

Wife, drove me and my flight gear to aircraft
getting there around 1100. By time finished loading, reinstalling the
avionics - the @$#%^ transponder wouldn't slide all the way back in an engage
the pins it was 1130 and the wind was picking up. - I figured I'd
stay low enough and out of class B airspace anyway.
