Congratulations, Gaylen
Great to see another rotary powered aircraft in the
air. I like the innovative approach to your cooling
installation. Looking forward to your reports on it with higher power
settings and OAT.
Just got back from a 1500 mile round trip from North
Carolina to Louisiana and back - left yesterday and got back home
today. The rotary just loves to run at high rpm for hours.
Sounds like you have the 2.17:1 gear ratio with left
rudder required. What static rpm are you getting?
Best Regards
Ed

Subject: [FlyRotary] First flight, RV-8
N5093F
First flight today. Climbed to 6500' over
the airport and began a conservative program. Did mild
maneuvering, approaches to stalls, simulated approaches at altitude,
flaps at 50% and 100%. .6 hour. Limited airspeed to 110 Kt.
OAT 50F. Water temp 190 in climb, 180 with power back. Oil temp
170. Needs more left rudder on take-off and climb than expected,
otherwise flys nice! More data as
acquired.
I'm indebted to the list for all the shared
information that made this project possible. Thanks Tracy for
making your products available.
