Paul,

 

My illness is not merely speed.  I’m having more fun in the first 3 days than I did in the 700 hours of flying.  I think my build to flight hour ratio got too low.

 

Today I’m taking my Crank Trigger Coil bracket (not hall affect) to the shop to cut rotary slots (because the tool is cool) of 4.5 degrees advance.  Now I’ll be able to loosen 4 bolts and flip to race timing.  I don’t have the timing indicator on my Plasma I boxes, but ….. would it be correct that at 30” and 2700 rpm I’m not advancing?  Or rather I’m fully retarded 20 off my 40 degree bolt?

 

Other fun projects included splitting the case halves.  Next time I think I’ll just use a chainsaw and go in perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

 

Oh yea, down and welded.  Yea right………. Where’s the mental gymnastics?

 

Larry

'Course, Larry, if you weren't such a speed-freak, you'd take a lesson from the Legacy FG - welded down-and-locked! Sorry! 'Just had to do that! Thanks for the lessons learned which we can check in our planes. 'Sorry it had to be you!
