Had three days of perfect weather. High temperatures in the upper 60’s, clear skies, and light winds. I replaced the fuel rail, and after switching to different o-rings on the RC engineering injectors, I got a perfect seal. The stock Mazda seals would not work on these injectors, but thankfully Paul Brannon had the correct o-rings. It was getting dusk, but I managed to get in one trip around the pattern. On Saturday I made two flights, totally a little over an hour, and everything ran great. Well, other than I messed with the mixture on mode 3, and ended up being too lean when I throttled down in the pattern. Yesterday, I made the flight of about 190 NM and the plane and engine were perfect. It was a beautiful day, and while not unlimited visibility, it was probably 30-40 miles, clear skies, and very smooth air at my cruising altitude of 3500 MSL. I flew the trip at about 55-60 % power, since I am still nursing along my stock turbo. Still made about 125-130 KTS, and only took about 90 minutes to make the trip, with a 10 KT headwind most of the way. It was very nice, after all the little problems I had, to have a trouble free flight. The rotary engine just signs along, not missing a beat. OAT was about 67 degrees, and engines temperatures ran at 185 on coolant and 180 on the oil, at 4800 RPM’s. The oil is a digital display that should be very accurate. The coolant is an analog gauge, so the 185 is more of a guess. The needle was slight above the 180 mark. I also got to see the first flight of Paul and Lou’s Lancair with the 20B. I’m sure that one of them will tell everyone about it.
