Steve, believe it or not I'm making arrangements to fly to CA and get some stick time on a CZ MK-IV with 6 cil. Subaru. it will be in couple of weeks. The owner is Keith Spreuer and he was kind to offer it. I'll let you know how it works out with the two blades.
I went to the airport this evening. The air was VERY humid. On top I had forgotten my master on last night, and the batteries were low. Good excuse to go home and watch TV. Another day down the tube.

Hi Buly,
The canard time is probably a better option than the
few beers method.
Both options will probably get you airborn, but the
canard time may yeild the better landing.
I have the spacers with my IVO prop to switch to a 2
blade prop, so there is even another reason that I'd
like to see how you do without the turbo.
Would be nice to get a 3 vs 2 blade comparison.

Steve, I'm trying to get some canard time first. Or
just have few
beers and go:)
Waiting for the 2 blade conversion parts to come any
day. Want to see
what RPM I'll get with the 2 blade.

Buly,
When do you think that you're going to fly without
the
turbo ??
I'm waiting to hear a flight report.

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?.

Hi Buly and Ernest,
you guy's can only be proud with your plan-built
projects. You are
way ahead of us kit builders as far as
dedication
is concerned in
addition of everything else. I have watched
several Easy builders
over the years, and at my visit to Ernest last
Christmas, I
realized again how much difference there is
between kit and plan
when Ernest explained to me how he managed to
manufacture SS
channel because it could not bought anywhere. I
think plan-builders
are the creme of the experimenters community.
FWIW.
