Mark,
Like everyone else do what you think that you need to do but just
for info The wheel pants have been the second most problematic item so
far. I had both off again this week to repair the mounting holes, this
time with a layer of metal between layers of carbon fiber. I have all the
fairings and transitions installed and from flights without them on I
would say it is less than 10 mph difference (not that I would give it up
though)
My prop is a Sensenich 54 x 60 and I am turning the exact same
rpm as you are. 3350 rpm at full throttle straight and level (my version
of straight and level)
Mark has me thinking about Saturday. I checked the flight planner
and it says about 550 miles and 4:15 travel time with 4:16 fuel on board
(1 min should be enough reserve)
I have had no issue with the Aero carb and sticky throttle. I
have a high quaility cable and no flexing in it. Never a problem at any
setting.
