PS- Did anyone go to
SERFI? Is anyone actually flying these
days?
=======================================================
Yes Rusty , I actually
flew today. Our runway has been soggyville, we had 7 inches last week and
never saw the sun basically. Very unusual for us to stay clouded over,
typically we get deluge's but sun in between.
runway is still not
super, but usuable with caution.
Engine did very well,
coolant never exceded 218 and started decreasing at about 3500 feet during
WOT climb. Practiced some descents with different rpm trying to get this
thing (9A) to stop flying when I'm trying to land. Actually have two
deadstick landings, but not the beer drinking club kind :>) Couple
flights back, after reinstalling the engine after having it to
Bruces for new sideseals, it was idling so high that it was not going
to stop so just shut it down when over the fence. Set it so low
that next flight it stopped when I pulled it all the way to stop again over
the fence. I do not count this with your and Ed's deadsticks thank you.Today
it seemed find, set it statically about 1350 rpm. Ed do you remember where
you idled this prop? ( by the way haven't forgotten that it is your
prop, we'll talk at Tracy's.)
Rusty sorry to hear you
probably not making shady bend! Is your old 3 coming and is he flying
a lot?
Bernie, out of town for
a week.
