My noise was a lot to do with my headset:>) The
skinny plastic on the earmuffs had deterioated over the years and had no passive
attenuation. Am flying with a neighbors and traded my old ones in on the latest
Lightspeed 30XL3G.
Hi Bernie,
Have you flown with the new Lightspeeds yet? I have those same
headsets, and had times were the noise overwhelmed them, causing a
crackling, popping sound. They made a couple trips back to LS, and
finally ended up with the old, thicker ear seals from the previous version of
their headset. That, combined with extending my exhaust pipe to the
rear a couple feet, finally got me a clean headset
sound.
My compression
isabout 70 psi during cranking, YUK! I use premix 2 stroke penzoil of
1 oz per gallon.
Is the
compression dead even, or are there variations? I'm assuming this was one
of Bruce's engines. New parts? Used parts? Just curious.
I never
checked the previous version of my engine, but the current version tested 90 psi
cold, with only about 5 minutes of running time on it. As it gets broken
in, I presume that will improve, and I think it would be better warm as
well.
Good
luck,
Rusty
