The Rotec TBI does not care for ram air either. I had a few situations where it ran up fine to takeoff power, but sputtered going down the runway. Pulling the power back say .5 inches MAP worth corrected it. I fly with the filter access panel off, a nd have no problems. I can cruise with ram air. Some day I will mod to handle both. Maybe. When the engine sputters while barreling down the runway, it gets your attention.

If it'll do that, you'll probably get enough altitude to turn back, especially if you climb out at a 30-40 degree angle, to make it easier to circle back if you have to. This is something I give a lot of thought to! _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
