It's Alive!
After 4.5 years, a half cup of MMoil in rotor 2 did
it! .7 hours, multiple starts. 60 psi oil, 175 degree oil, 185
degree water, 7 psi water. 2 small coolant leaks. heater core kept
the cabin warm. Charging circuit works. No oil leaks. No fuel
leaks. Fixed about 5 of them last week. Engine still a little rough,
but turning should fix that. Controller B not working. 28 degree
OAT. EGTs not working. Tuned headers (24in) not excessively
hot. Tuned intake (17.5 in) seems to be working. Many minor things
to be done, but the toughest is over. Thanks to all of you, I've lurked
and learned and it has paid off. Hope to fly in a month or
so.
