New Braunfels is about 25 miles = North of San=20 Antonio and about 40ish miles South of Austin on Interstate 35. = FWIW, it=20 is about 2.5 to 3 hours West of Houston by car.

Really hope to see y'all there=20 <g>

All the best,

Chris

Thanks, Chris

    I'll know better as the date=20 approaches. Never been there, but have been to Austin and San=20 Antonio. I know I could look it up on a map but how far = would you=20 say it is from San Antonio?

Well, you have a couple of Texas Rotary Flying = now, and I am=20 going to try my best to be there and I suspect Tracy Crook will = to. May=20 be even more I am unaware of.

So I'll keep you in mind for any questions as the = date=20 approaches.

Best Regards

Ed

Ed,

Just a word of = encouragement....would=20 love to see you and others at SWRFI. I have a number of folks = who are=20 interested in the engine choice, but they would really like to see = flying=20 craft. Its new venue in New Braunfel, TX (between Austin and = San=20 Antonio) was a great choice. Really great = destination. I=20 just returned yesterday from a yearly trek (it is so nice, it wasn't = even=20 aviation related and took me away from working on my newly delivered = wing=20 kit, ...just hammock piloting, rivering and jet skiing). I = don't think=20 I will be flying yet, but I will be a lot closer to flight = <g>.=20

If you need info on the area, = let me=20 know. I know it pretty well (attended undergrad nearby). The = Faust=20 historic hotel is very reasonable and very nice (IMHO, much nicer=20 and better bang for the buck than the cookie cutter=20 chains).FWIW.

All the best,

Chris

Hi Bill,

    No, I have not. I = have thought=20 about it on the ground, but always seem to forget in the = air. I=20 guess part of it is that I think I have found good timing for = power on=20 takeoff and climb and just don't want to mess with that. = But, now=20 that I think of it I presume that I could mess with the timing on = the "B"=20 controller and leave the "A" controller where it is, Hummmm. =

I think I will check with Tracy to make = certain screwing=20 with the timing on one processor won't screw it up on the = other. I=20 am 99% certain - buuuttttt want to be sure.

I am going to put the presentation on my = website (well,=20 actually I dont' have my own, but a guy by name of Don Mack has = hosted my=20 stuff for 4 years. Perhaps he won't mind adding some=20 more.

In any case, I will probably make hardcopy for = a nominal=20 fee (cover my costs) for those interested.

I've actually copyrighted the presentation and = officially registered it with the Library of Congress = CopyRight=20 Office. I don't know if anything similar was even done by the = Mazda=20 engineers. We know they did a lot of cut and try=20 experimenting. Like for the 1990 VDIE manifold the to the = 1988 NA=20 DIE manifold and changed its length in 200mm segments and then ran = dyno=20 curves. Then they chose the segment lengths that gave them = the=20 curves they wanted. So they may never have set down and worked out = the=20 equations - what need had they when they had the resources to = emperically=20 derive what they wanted {:>)

Hell, I might find little guys dress all in = black=20 swinging long sharp swords at my neither region {:>). I = might=20 accused of industrial spying {:>)

Well, going to also go to SERFI at Evergreen, = Al in=20 early October. Plan on meeting Tracy there and having him = give my=20 work a santity check. I sort of probed Paul Lamar, but = without even=20 seeing a single slide, he started telling me that I would have a = "hard=20 sell". I guess that is because he has "gone on the record" = with an=20 email telling folks not to copy anything I was doing manifold = wise,=20 because it would "hurt" engine performance at aircraft rpms. = Well,=20 he was wrong, but at the time there was nothing I had to show = that. =20 I now do {:>). It might need a little twicking on a = couple of the=20 parameter values, but the logic and equation derivation is = straight=20 foward. No tricks up the sleeve, no magic hats - its all = laid out=20 for anyone who can follow simple high school algebra (and even if = they=20 can't) will understand.

Keep trying to tell some of these folks that = just=20 because an intake system is advertised (even honestedly) that it = will=20 produce 220 HP at 8000 hp, doesn't mean that it will work for an = aircraft=20 (unless we can find a way to shift gears). But, I went that = route=20 early on so it take some time and poor experiences to help you = find the=20 path.

Good hearing from you, Bill. I am going = to try and=20 make the SWRFI next year as I have a long lost nephew living near = that=20 area.

Take care and good flying

Best Regards

Ed

Ed,

Have you ever tweedled with the timing while at = cruise=20 RPM? I didn't think to try that, but I may.

Unfortunately work precludes the Shady Bend = attendance this=20 time. Rats again.

I am really looking forward to somehow taking in your = presentation on intake manifolds.

Bill

Hi Bill

    = Thanks for the=20 great report. Glad to hear the new = manifold is=20 working out so well. Yes, that old = spark plug=20 SAG (Sparkplug Attention Getter) will = certainly get=20 your attention - ruined more than one seat = cusion=20 myself from it. I've got myself a = spark plug=20 cleaner (if I can find where I misplaced it) = that I=20 want to use to clear some of the numerous = spark=20 plugs I have saved to see if I can't get = some more=20 hours out of them.

I wouldn't worry = about not=20 matching Tracy's fuel profile - I can't=20 either. I can cruise at 170 TAS and = burn mabye=20 as low as 7.25- 7.5 gph but no lower. = I think=20 Tracy can get even higher cruise TAS with 6 = - 6.5=20 GPH. I think part of it is the higher = drag of=20 the RV-6, but I also think Tracy has had so = many=20 long trips to play with his ignition timing = and=20 other variables that he has his really fine=20 tuned.

Do you plan on = being at the=20 Rotary Fly in?
