Dave,
Yes on the DAR if you can find his contact
info.
My insurance company wants me to take some
dual with Mike Seager, the RV transition guy up in Portland. Even though I have
200 hours of RV time its in a nose dragger and I havent flown a tail dragger
since I sold out my share of the Cessna 140 4 years ago. I think the plane will
be ready before the pilot is.

You know, that whole "lower the pressure as much as possible"
was before you guys found the issue with injector field decay and fixed
it. It may indeed be time to re-visit that issue.
So when is the
first flight Mike??? My DAR was great, can get his name if interested.
(though his inspection was minimal, mostly a paperwork check).

That's interesting. When I was first starting
to test my rotary I had to back the fuel pressure way down to get it to run
relatively well. I'm backed off as far as the Aeromotive regulator will go
and indicating about 33psi. Now that things are running better maybe I
should try to bump it back up a little. I think Dave Leonard told me he had
to go down on pressure as well. What is the consensus opinion?
Still some little tuning issues but it's
running well enough to taxi around now. Runs great above 3000
RPM. Maybe a revisit to fuel pressure will help.
Need to find a DAR and get this thing
inspected/flying!

[FlyRotary] Renesis First Start
Saturday with the help of Mark Steitle
I was able to start my renesis. Had to run higher rpm's to
keep to it running. Wideband O2 showed lean at lower rpm's.
Today after adjusting the fuel pressure to 42 psi (was 30 psi) I was
able to idle much lower. My Advanced Flight System EFIS\ engine monitor
fuel injector circuit is not putting out a tach signal so no idea on
the actual rpm's. Two primer clicks and it starts right up.
