Greetings,
I fixed my brake line
today, taxied around, transferred some fuel, swung the compass, cleaned the
canopy, etc. Nothing left to do but hope my Lightspeed headset makes it
back from repair, strap on the Nomex, and parachute, then see if it flies.
Probably Sat.
In engine news, I still
have some issues around the staging point. The engine doesn't threaten to
quit. It just isn't smooth. I sent the injectors off to RC
Engineering today, and they'll have them Wednesday. At least by sometime
next week, I should know the true flow rate of the underachieving MSD's.
If they really don't flow what they're supposed to, It's possible that RC
Engineering can modify them to flow the same as the stock Mazda's. If
that's the case, I'll probably have them do it. It would sure be nice
to have matching injectors.
A question for Ed, and
anyone else who uses 100LL regularly. How many hours do you get on your
plugs? Do they burn up, or just get fouled? Can they be
cleaned?
I've been running premium
auto fuel, but it's almost $1.90/gallon, and a big pain to haul around, not to
mention dangerous. I'm thinking that 100LL would be even better for the
turbo than 93 octane premium, but I don't want to have fouled plugs all the
time. How many people are using 100LL?
Thanks,
Rusty (6+ hours on the
engine, and feeling bad about kidding Tommy about his high pre-flight
time)
