I was on this list years ago when it first
started up. Job change and other issues slowed progress on my project and I
unsubscribed.
I've been working pretty steadily on it the
past year. Had my first engine start a couple of months ago and hope to have
first flight soon, once I sort out some engine issues. Been having some problems
from idle up to about 3000 RPMs, from there it runs good. Max static RPM is
5300.
Anyway, thought it was about time I
re-subscribed to see what I've been missing in the past 4 years. I'm assuming
many of the guys I knew back then are now flying.
Airplane particulars. It's an RV-4,
completely stock from the firewall back with basic VFR instrumentation. A plugs
normal 13B by Bruce Turrentine with turbo housings and high compression NA
rotors. Tracy's EC2 and RD1 (his original prototype which flew on his RV some
160 hours when he abandoned the Ross drive). Radiator and oil cooler mounted
under the engine with a custom chin inlet cowl.
Is Chuck Dunlap still on here? If so, I'd
like to talk to you Chuck.
All for now,
Mike Wills
RV-4 N144MW
