Nope, still ch= asing gremlins. I am having an issue with the secondary injectors c= ausing the engine to quite when I hit about 20 inches Manifold pressure/4= 000 rpm. If I turn the secondaries off, the power soars back and wi= ll get me in the high 5000 rpm and low 6000's rpm static. This is n= ot a mere "bog". I have been reading the archives to get some direc= tion. However, most of the comments are on bog, not it running so b= adly it wants to shutdown. I did not have too much time to check, b= ut I think the staging point seems to have moved to about 20 inches...the= same place as this rough patch on the secondaries (asterisk disappears a= t this point). Seems like it is flooding with fuel...donno. I= have all the same size injectors now. The ones that Mistral recomm= ends for their intake, which I am using.

It was working fine a couple of weeks ago....as I repor= ted. Donno what happened. I may reset since I have not done a= ny tuning and a couple of map settings seemed to have changed. It w= as running PERFECT on the default settings when I first installed it= when I got the EC2/EM2 back from Tracy a few weeks back. Again don't kno= w why. I did find a problem with one of my two B&C regulat= ors. It has been repaired and according to the phone call I got tod= ay, is on its way back to me. Not likely directly related, but until I ge= t that solved everything else is suspect.

I also gotta do some other pesky chores like set the w= ing/canard incidences, properly secure wire runs, get some longer bolts t= o properly secure my alternators with castle nuts etc. I have = a VERY short list (about 8 items) that I copied on a yellow note pad= of items I pulled from the manual. Things like fit wheel= pants, apply blue locktite to door pins (as to not have them unscrew in = the closed position trapping you in plane),

Have everything else in the manual completed (OMG, = I really do. WOW....like John Slade has said, if the me of six year= s ago could see the me of today, he would be damn impressed <g>).&n= bsp; Also, I need to wire my panel. I have been keeping the avionic= s (Dual King 125, Dynon D100 etc stored until I get the electrical stuff = sorted out. However, that may only take a bit o' time to at le= ast get it set enough to fly VFR day....all I am currently rated at.= Kinda scary though that if'n I ever get the engine to behave prope= rly/consistently/reliably, I am pretty damn close <yikes>=0A

=0AI reconnected the control surfac= es the other day so when I make airplane noises, I can have my controls m= ove too.......yeah, responsible, mature, cop, attorney, airplane builder,= armature engineer and pilot.....can't cha tell?????

Well, I don't know Chris, I'= m a little leary of landing on such short runways. I would have to = practice up on my short field technique first.

Kelly,
I guess it is just you and me at the moment. I= have been flying my 3-rotor Lancair pretty much every chance I get. &nbs= p;It is showing 139.7 hrs on the Hobbs. I've been as far north as D= enver, and two weeks ago flew it down to Port Aransas, TX. Cooling = could use some improvement in order to keep flying during the hot Texas s= ummers. But I'm working on that. Stay tuned...
