Hello Net I hope the KR net is up. I only see one post and that is unusual. Today was another full day at the airport. I installed a good control for the waste gate; tightened some fuel lines; reconnected the cabin heat; reinstalled all scat tubing; safety wired my gasolator; and adjusted the magneto among other things. At this point it is fair to ask when will it fly? Tomorrow seems as good a day as any. I watched the wind all day today and noted that it was 90 degrees to the runways. For the first flight of the KR in 6 months, I want the wind down the runway. I don't know what to expect from the P factor, because of the extra power. Tonight I must decide procedure to use on takeoff. With the control connected to the cockpit it is easy to see that I could apply full power with the throttle and add boost afterwards. But, as the boost control and the stick are close to each other and require the same hand. that will probably cause me to apply boost before applying throttle. With a partially closed gate, I can increase the throttle till I see 3300 on the tach. With the gate fully closed I can overboost. I don't know how much, it's just that the throttle is still not fully open and I can tell that the boost will go over 40. I have not tried this without the chocks installed. I probably have more power then the brakes can handle. In that case I could apply boost on the roll. In reality what I should probably do it to increase the pitch on the prop before the first flight so that I can simply push the throttle to the panel and know that the engine will not over speed or boost.
