Great to hear,
Bobby!
A long time coming with
your share of frustrations – and it seems some installations simply take a bit
longer to get completely sorted out. Looking forward to seeing it later
this Month.

Subject: [FlyRotary] First Flight
It's done but not
finished. First flight today for about 20 minutes around the airport. I
still have a few odd tuning issues but Tracy believes it due to my MT electric prop
and provided a different approach to try. My supercharger was mostly bypassed
for this flight so MP pressure never got above 28". Take off rpm was at
6500 with the prop set for 2250. It flew like a 190 hp RV-10. About
800 fpm climb. I didn't push it and limited speed to about 110 mph. Fuel MAP
needs to be much better before using the supercharger or increasing the prop \
engine rpm. I can run 34" MP at 7200 rpm and 36" at lower rpms. Still HP
to be tapped.
A few data points. Engine was warm
before takeoff because of a few high power
run.
Takeoff roll Oil and Water
both at 191 F.
800 agl Oil
207 Water 196
Pattern Oil
205 Water 189.
Gearbox oil exit 235 at the
warmest.
Looks like I need to seal my air
ducts. They are a slip fit now and most likely not holding
pressure.
Thanks to everyone on this list. No
way this could have happened with out this community for support. Special
gratitude to the Austin Rotary Bunch. Mark S., Dennis H. and Bob
