Correct, Bill
The old duct will remain in pristine
condition. I have not forgotten, but as you have seen my well laid out
plans to get other things done always seems to have a hiccup - this time an
engine rebuild. Then getting the new duct AND an air filter (you listening
Leon?) build before the 12th of May so I can get some flying time and go to the
Mid-Atlantic Flyin. Then Charlie's flyin the latter part of May, then
visit kinfolk in Louisiana while I am that close. etc.
Boy, never realized when I retired it would be such
hard work (but fun!)

Do I interpret this correctly that you will have
a *new* duct that doesn't destroy the old duct?

Mold for enlarge duct opening nearly completed
today, fiberglass (ugh {:>)) tomorrow. Then an air filter/plenum to
build and I should be ready in plenty of time for the Mid-Atlantic Fly in 12
May.

Subject: [FlyRotary] EGT temps
Hi all...I flew the SQ2000 again. Engine ran
great. Just flew around enjoying the thing. After removing the
thermostat, I found that upon reaching the end of the runway my water
temps were only 120 degrees instead of the normal 160 to 170 degrees.
Temps rose much slower than normal on climb-out. Actually fun to fly
when you don't have to keep focusing on temps all the time. Cruising
at 4500 rpm's, the temps were very cool....stabilized at around 180
degrees at 1500' AGL. Temos on the ground were around 78. When I
increased the throttle to 5300 rpm's in level flight, temps slowly started
rising. I then noted the EGT at 5300 rpm's. It was 1425. Does this
sound a little too high? If so, my mixture settings may be a little
lean at those rpm's. Just wondering what others are seeing for EFT
temps for around 5300 rpm's. Thanks in advance for any and all
replies. Paul
