I agree. One fellow lost his plane,(the way I heard it) because of a cable
kink on a quick input of power on approach.

Hi Phil,
Good to hear from you.
Take I-4 towards Tampa and take Exit 10, South 1 block to Hwy 92 and turn
left. Go 1 mile East on Hwy 92 to Parsons Ave. and turn right. Go 1/4 mile
South. There is a white fence on the left side of Parsons, as soon as the
fence ends, turn left into the drive and follow the road around to the South
side of the building. We will have a sign up for the barbecue.
Regards,
Bob

| Subject: | How do these wheels work |
--> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw@optusnet.com.au>
Gidday,
I have a set of Grove wheels and have 2 questions about them for my
taildragger mains. Where the wheel halves join, there is a 1/2" dia hole
that allows the middle of the wheel to breath. I have realised it is
covered normally with tyre and tube, so I am now wondering if this hole is
to do with equalising pressure within the wheel to ensure it doesn't
squeeze the bearing grease out? Might be a long shot, but I am stumped.
There is also a small black rubber grommet on the wheel rim that provides
access to the same void within the wheel halves. No instructions, no real
idea other than allowing the hub to breath. So, why these holes?? Pity
sending pictures around wasn't a bit easier all round.

| Subject: | 914 Static run up |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I did a static run up of my 914 today. I had it tied off to the tow hitch on my
car with the tail weighted down with an 80 pound bag of salt. Apart from white
knuckles and a bit of vibration it was a non event.
My 914 is not developing full power. With the prop set manually to fine pitch
the engine would only develop 5100 rpm and 34 inches of manifold pressure. I
would have expected 5500~5800 RPM. I have checked the throttle and it is moving
to full open. The tach is an EIS engine monitor and I have no reason to suspect
it is incorrect
I need a few data points. Could some one tell me what is the maximum RPM I could
expect with an Airmaster set manually to fine pitch.
Secondly, I cannot get the engine into boost. My first thought is that the waste
gate might not be set correctly. I removed the cable from the servo and it
might not be in the correct position. Can anyone tell me how to set it correctly.
Conversely, .... 34" is 100% power, could the TCU be limiting it? if so
what parameters can do this. I only one I know is the air box temperature.
Thanks, Paul
