The results were almost as good as it gets. I took 2nd in Gold just a few feet behind Daryl in his Legacy. Dave " Mr. Sandbag award winner" Morss did a great job with 1st in Silver. On the last two laps of the race we spooled up the Supercharger to 3,000 RPM and 46" of boost. Our last Two laps were around 340MPH. Cylinder temps of 320 Deg. EGT of 1350 Deg and Oil temp of 170 Deg. Dave Cronin also flew a Supercharged Glasair III and took the fastest race speed for any Glasair. Last year he was last in the Silver, this year Fifth in the Gold. Not bad for a completely stock Glassair III. Below are some flight test numbers Dave made Today using an MT prop. He is going to do the same test with a Hartzell prop in a few weeks. I'll let you all know the results. ---------- From: dave morss Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 15:59:17 -0700 To: Rick Schrameck Subject: numbers the following tests were done on consecutive days with the supercharger in place belt on then belt off. the elbow was removed for belt off allowing air from the upper plenum for induction and the alternator was disconnected during belt off tests. temps and baro were within a few percent each day.Im cheap so all fuel flows were as lean of peak as was smooth. Speed ground speed on gps then computed for winds and true speed. normally aspirated supercharged @5000 ft 2300rpm 5000ft 2300 rpm 24.5 map 27map 12gph 12.6gph 205knts 208kts +3knts +.6gph 10000ft 10000ft 2300 rpm 2300rpm 20.1 map 27map 10.8gph 13.3gph 208knts 221knts +13knts +2.5gph 15000ft 15000ft 2300 rpm 2300rpm 16.3map 25.5map 10.8 gph 13.4gph 209knts 234knts +25knts +2.6gph 15000ft 15000ft 2500rpm 2500rpm 16.4map 27map 10.6gph 15.6gph 216knts 245knts +29knts +5gph
