Greetings,
I appreciate you guys
keeping Ed busy doing math. I'm sure to beat him in the air with my C
drive at this rate :-)
The drive and prop are
here. The old drive is off (after much cursing as usual), and the new
drive is sitting on the floor. It was too late to install it today, and I
wanted to take my time to make sure I got it right. Note to Tracy- Packing
peanuts: BAD. They're all over the airport I think :-)
I haven't opened the
prop yet, but I'm sure it's beautiful.
I finished all the
machining on my injector conversion. The plan is to install MSD injectors
in the stock primary location. I ended up making steel sleeves to fit
in the injector holes in the block. They're .65" OD, and .55" ID. I
took a T-II injector rail, and bored it out to .54" ID to fit the new
injectors. I also drilled and tapped the ends of the rail for 1/4 NPT
fittings, and installed them with some JB weld to keep Tracy's stock prices up
:-) The sleeves are already installed in the block, and I'll test out the
new rail tomorrow. Man will it be nice to have matching injectors
again. Since they're 525 cc injectors, I lowered the fuel pressure from 42
to 36 to compensate.
I'm off Monday also, so I
plan to have this thing at least tuned, and ready to fly by
then.
Cheers,
Rusty (Kolb Slingshot, or
