Brian;
I've read with interest your early flying adventures and trials.=20
Finding and correcting the igintion problem must have been daunting.
I had a great time visiting you and your RV-4 when it was still in the gara=
ge.
Somehow, I fell behind, but I'll be in the air soon.
Then we can compare notes and fly a big 2 ship formation (!?)

I was getting an occillating harmonic while in flight until I installed som=
e of that thin(but relatively heavy) sound dampening that sticks to the she=
et metal panels on the inside of the cockpit. It quieted the cockpit down i=
mmensely. This in an RV-4.

I know it's not all that exciting to some, but today I installed the tailwh=
eel chains and bled the brakes, then took that milestone, the first TAXI TE=
ST!!
Although the throttle response was a little notchy, there were no stalls or=
 trouble with RPM control. I had some lean spots and some rich ones too, bu=
t nothing that prevented the engine from obeying throttle commands.
The RV-8 rolled along sweetly, steering and braking like a doll.
There are some funny harmonics in the airframe at some various low engine s=
peeds, not suprising, considering the aircraft was intended to be powered b=
y a Lycoming.
I have a bunch of parts yet to install and adjust, but the pile keeps getti=
ng smaller!
