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!
