Hi guys, I'm getting ready to do high speed taxi tests before my inspection in 2 weeks.
Does anyone get into the tuning side of the ECU ?
I'm okay with AFR and fueling, but I don't have a really good way for the spark table other then my knock sensors. I've found some examples for the RX7 engine, but the RX8 is higher compression and takes different timing. Not much data out there. I'm running a megasqurit for the ECU. Not sure how the Tracy's computer handles the difference in spark between RX7 vs RX8 for you guying running it.
Here's the spark table I have now. MAP vs RPM

Have you really done everything you need to do in Phase I?
A full flight testing program.
Expanded and documented the envelope?
All allowed maneuvers, stalls, spins, rools, loops ..., at which W&B?
Do you really have all the the numbers to make a complete POH?
Stall speeds clean and dirty at all W&B configurations?
Range (fuel burn) at all configurations?
And so on.
40 hours go quick that way.
THAT is what Phase I is for.
And how can you consider the build complete without all that?
Hope that helps.
