Not too concerned. I've been flying tne RV-6A
pretty regularly and also flying my glider. Also have been taxiing the -4 around
some though no high speed taxi yet. Just a matter of jumping through the
hoops to satisfy the insurance guy.

Re: Renesis First Start
Don’t worry too much; it will
come back to you just like riding a bicycle. The RV 7 is a fun stable plane to
transition in, and I didn’t scare Mike but one time when I landed about 10
degrees off course. But he was
quick to get on the rudder and point the nose in the right direction. This was after about six or eight
landings and I was feeling like I had every thing under control, HA! I aught to know better than think that
I have everything under control.

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.
