Hello All
I have the first and second running of my 1988 13B on the nose of my nearly completed AcroSport 2 biplane
Lots of drag and not great speed expected, but lots of fun I lets hope.
The set up is EC3/EM3/RD1C. with a 3 pass radiator all turning a Sterba 76X64 prop.
I have enjoyed and found useful the Rotary feed with lots a greatly appreciated help from Ed Anderson directly.
Only after final assembly will it be known if the engine mount length is right for weight and balance.
Without wings and tail feathers it almost falls on its nose now.
I am wondering if the water pressure sender is functioning properly...after moderate speed ground (of course)
running the oil and water temps show about 160 degrees, but water pressure shows 5 psi 
Should I not expect much else until longer harder running or flight?
 
Regards,
Randolph
