Thanks Richard. Now I have to learn to fly that
thing without making  a merry widow of my wife :)
Last evening, after removing the turbo and making
bunch of  improvements including IVO electric 68" prop, I
loaded the minister  of finance  (she ordered me ) and went to make three
high speed taxis  with the new prop. What a kick in the back! These
props make big  difference on take off by allowing you to develop
high rpm from the  start. Since I ordered this prop for my turbo
installation, I'm a bit  low on the rpm. Will try it by converting the same
prop (68" with  pitch 45-105 range)  to two blade. My prop
calculator http:// www.hoverhawk.com/propspd.html  tells me for best
thrust I must spin  the engine at least to 6500 - 7000 rpm. I'm about
1000 rpm short  right now. I was surprised to see my manifold
pressure go past 30". i  did not understand why my TAS stays at 18 when the
plane is not  moving, but goes up with the forward speed? I was
expecting to see it  at zero?.
