Gentlemen:

I attended the 3 day class in Ada OK which the folks at GAMI teach on advanced engine management.   I admit I was on the fence over the LOP/ROP issue.   On day two of the class I had to make a quick trip to Dallas for business and flew over that night and back for the course the next day.   I tried the techniques they teach at GAMI and THEY WORK.  Period.

I have never been able to attain 80% power with 18 GPH fuel flow at CHT/EGT well in line.   I have never seen the combination of higher TAS, lower temps and economy FF in the 3 years I have been flying the IVP.

For anyone who is dropping $500K into an airplane taking this course ahould be manditory.  You will save money in repairs, fuel, time and it just may save your life.

Yeag getting to ADA is a pain but $1,000 is a cheap price to pay for what I agree is a PHD in engine management.   George Braly is without a doubt the Albert Einsten of the conbustion engine.  He has real world data to prove his point and best yet has an engine set up on a test stand where we could verify what he says is true.   I busted his chops on everything I didn't understand or was different than the "conventional wisdom" and came away realizing that I learned more in 3 days about how engines work, how to treat them and how to realize when things were going wrong than I had learned in 25 yrs of flying put together.

Great job GAMI and keep up the good work.
