Orma, did the difference in airspeed also show when you turned 180 degrees? Maybe you had a 14 knot tailwind?
Still, pretty neat in terms of going forward. Good work.

I did manage to increase the pitch on the prop. I used a protractor and recorded the old setting and the new. The numbers don't relate directly to the pitch, but are a reference so that I will know where I am. Static runup only produced 2800 RPM with most of the waste gate closed. The MP was 35". On the takeoff roll, the engine ran up to 31 and the MP stayed put. At 2500 MSL, I lowered the nose and let the plane accelerate. The GPS (working again) and the ASI did not agree. The GPS said 136 Kts and the ASI said 122. I managed to also get my Nav radio to track to the local omni. The air was real bumpy and I only stayed out for one hour. I will fly with the prop in it's current setting for the next few flights. I still has more waste gate to close and more throttle to open. So far 136 Kts or 156 MPH is not bad. Orma L.
