Hello Net;
Nothing I say today can possibly be as exciting as Marks sign off. Congrats
again Mark. I probably should change the title of this thread to Details and
Tuning. I finished and sealed the baffles today, applied Fiberfrax to my cowl,
shaved my Revflow needle again and ran the engine. Today I was able to get
3150 and 32. I have reached the limits for the needle that I am using and
after the run I talked to Joe at Revmaster for a few minutes. He agrees that
the 34 mm venturi is sufficient for the 2366 plus turbo and said that he could
carve me a needle that will work better. All I have to do is to tell him what
the present needle is doing and he can grind me one that will work. I have
quietly been making all my runs and adjustments with the fuel tank at a low
level. I feel that the engine must be able to make full power for a go around
with a low fuel level. I know that the head pressure will go up with a full
tank. I can always adjust the mixture to provide a leaner burn. On my run
today, the temps were in the normal range and with the sealant applied, I
should have no problems keeping the engine and oil cool enough. I started
attacking the list of things to do prior to flight. I have high hopes of
getting off the ground before the weekend is over.
