Yep, that's right....right on the spinner!!! I took N886MJ up for a flight this evening at 7:00 pm. It was calm with a temp of 70°. I climbed out to 3500' just below the clouds and opened her up. This was the second flight since my rebuild and I was more than pleased with the performance. Level at 3500' and WOT produced 3350RPM with a GPS verified true airspeed of 151MPH. I have not seen my engine produce a smooth 3350 rpm since I first built her. It may have taken me two years to get all the bugs worked out but I feel confident she is ready to perform for me now. I honestly feel as I get a few more hours on this rebuild that the rpm will probably creep up some more as well as the speed. I can't wait to get my wheel pants on the main gear and see what she will do then. Anyway, tonight's flight speed was not too shabby for an oversized heavy KR-2S with no main wheel pants. Now you know why I kissed her goodnight.
