You also said that the power came back when you got back on the ground. I don't see how both can be true??? BTW, any more gummy goo on your prop ? I've been thinking about that one too. The leading coils were definitely without power when I landed and taxied back last time. Maybe it runs fine on trailing only until you ask for a lot of power. There was a marked increase in power when I changed the mixture. Perhaps, with one set of coils down it goes over rich, and leaning it made the difference. Not much in the way of goo this time, but still some soot. I still have a very minor oil leak (enough to wet the floor a bit overnight) somewhere. I think there's some seepage between the mount plate and the engine. There a bit of stray oil on the back of the cowl and mixed with the soot. Heat that mixture to 1200F or so and you probably get the goo I saw. The POV worked fine on flight # 8. Thanks.
