Netters, Snakebite had the first flight in 14 months the other day. Temps were not the best, and the sputters comming from the front end of the airplane made me clinch. Oil temp still tooooo high. I talked the Scott Caslier from Hummel engines, Steve Glover and Jeff Scott who were at Copperstate. I readjusted the mag, I was 5 degrees advanced. After the adjustment, all ran fine temps were much better, oil temp was better but I still need to do more work. I have the new cowl about 90% done. I will have to do some better testing, but it appears to be faster than the RR cowl. It is great to have it back in the AIR. I will give more updates as I do more testing.
