Netters, After not flying since June 4th, I finally made a 2.4 hour flight this evening. Yeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. During the time not flying, I modified my intake to carb mount, built a new air box with an internal filter. Made new carb heat connections and fresh air inlet. Of course, I must thank Mark Langford for the design ideas for the air box and fresh air inlet. I also had to modify the bottom of my cowl which meant some more fiberglass work. The results were an increase of static rpm to 3200 in flight ready mode. That was a 250 rpm increase over my previous static rpm in flight ready mode. Boy did she climb out.....1200 fpm and I was 2000' AGL when I left down wind and turned cross field over the approach end of the runway. At 4000' I leveled off and was turning 3300 rpm and maintained 145 mph on the ASI. I still think my engine may need some tweaking. Now mind you this is with no wheel pants on my tri gear set up and no spinner. Faster speeds are waiting on me.
