Hi Dave - just got back from San Francisco last night.
Still working on my XL. May be doing initial paperwork early next year. Then more paperwork, then transition training. Then Phase 1 :-) A ways to go, but getting there.
Hi Dave
Back from China, it sucks big time. Should have spent the money on my plane. My Wife agrees.
Hows your flying going? Did you install your new ally baffles yet? I'm dying to see the difference which I'm hoping will be significant. I guess lycoming and continental have used this configuration since day dot. Have you heard if they get hot on the ground or in the air?
If you have any more flying videos can you post them please, I crave flying videos especially those of Zodiacs.
chts will run close to 300 until 50 hours then the engine will run between 240 and 290 at cruise broken in. Right now at 8 hours just fly the tar out of it. I am runnning at staic full at 2830 rom at take off then 2750 rpm at cruise IAS shows 125 to 130 mph, and chts run 240 to 270. egt will run at 1360 to 1400 egt showing 5 gal/hr burn.
bullet hole was the folk in the rough part of town shooting in celebration for new years. what goes up must come down.
