Buly,
Yes, I received the spacer back. Good luck on the transponder issue. If
they get no signal, it should be an easy fix. Usually either power or
antenna connection.

I could not even guess, but was a very quick accelaration. I had my
eyes glued on the EM2 and was just glancing at the air speed, so I
don't have a clue, but it was not too long. I'm sire if I did not
have the landing gear down the temps would go down faster. My number
one problem is the transponder. I'm at controlled airport with C-
airspace above 1200 feet. So, transponder is a must. Thanks again for
your help with the prop spacer. I assume you received my package with
thew block.

Buly,
Sounds great. For starting at 210, a peak of 222 doesn't sound too
bad. Do
you have any idea about how much runway you used for take off ?
It would have been interesting to see what your temperatures
stabilized at
after more than just one circuit. My plane seems to take at least
5 minutes
at cruise power to stabilize.

This morning it was calm at the airport, but rained a bit and the
humidity was off the scale with 85F temp. Took the Cozy out and me
and Richard loaded up on the front seat total of 480 pounds. Did one
fast taxi for him to feel the power. He liked it. Taxied back and by
then the water temp was 210F. Off we went. The engine was doing
5800-6000 rpm with the IVO pitched at fine (about 50") Did one
cirquit and landed. The temp went the highest 222 for a second and
than started coming down. oil temps were lower. We had the nose gear
down (with 4" wide gear cover) all the time and since it is in front
of the scoop, I'm sure it reduces the air flow efficiency. Looks
like all the changes I made will work out nice. If I install better
exhaust instead of the turbo sectionI,m sure will improve the power,
loose 30 pounds, and be much noisier, but I don't care :)
Plane flew very well and I came back with 3 squacks:
Nose gear shimmied on landing. Common fixable problem with the canards
My new transponder not readable by the tower. Must be the wiring?
My intercom gives priority to outside reception and cuts in the pilot
- copilot conversation. Very annoying and have to figure out how to
change it?
Bottom line: For now, I like getting rid of the stock turbo. I like
the IVO Magnum 68" two blade electric. Just push the throttle to the
end and go fly.
