I'm afraid of that myself Thomas. The long arm of the landing gear just may twist off the bulkheads. I'll just line up few fat guys infront of the wings and let them push. :)

Would you trust your main landing gear? Chain it down on both sides an
hopefully don't see the main gear sitting there by itself after you open up
the butterfly!

I was tempted, just that I have a fragile head light there. One of
the Cozy guys did it, but he has a removable nose cone and he tested
the thrust difference between the fixed pitch and Ivo props. It was
Big difference.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Another engine run
Today afternoon I skipped from work and decided to run the engine
with my modified stock turbo. Last Sunday I removed the wastegate,
but had no time to run it. Today I was able to bring (static) it up-
to 3000 RPM and 30" MP with no problem. I have a homemade composite
monster prop 70" D x 82 pitch and very wide blades. I had the feeling
the engine would have gone higher if I pushed the throttle, but I was
alone and the brakes were starting to slip. Also EC manual is telling
that over 30" you have to be careful with the mixture etc.
I was afraid that with the wastegate gone, the turbo will be totally
ineffective, but looks like it maybe OK and it may last untill we get
the test results from Slade Turbo Testing Laboratories on the new TO4
Turbo.
I'm tempted to make a run on the 6K ft runway :)
