Yes!! Good Job! I can relate to your feelings! I just had my first hop Dec 26th, which I kept conservative and tight to the field. I made 1 circuit and slipped to a landing, just to keep as high as possible for as long as I could. Like you, I remember little of the airframe behavior, I was so attuned to the engine. Thankfully, I had recent training, and the plane is a peach. Good luck! With your comment on the turbo manifold, I'll continue close inspections of mine. We are a much smaller group than any Lycoming or Continental support group, so I hope we stick together! -----Original Message----- From: Bill Bradburry <bbradburry@bellsouth.net> To: Rotary motors in aircraft <flyrotary@lancaironline.net> Sent: Mon, Jan 20, 2014 8:45 pm Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Just landed, plane reusable.

I had to coursen the IVO in-flight adjustable prop a bit as I noted engine speed a bit over 6500 rpm and prop kissing 2800 (not sure the exact corresponding numbers hoe the two cuz when I saw 6500, I throttled back and then noticed the high prop speed on the Dynon SkyView. > > I need to down load the Dynon data log and see what I may have missed. > > I figured some of y'all may be curios. > > All the best, > > Chris Barber > Houston > Velocity 17010 > (Making it so) > > Sent from my iPhone 5 > -- > Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ > Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html
