    I had the same problem for a long time with my 582 gray head, B gearbox, turning 3-bladed GSC ground adjustable prop. Tried all combinations of jet needle settings, jets, etc without satisfaction. The plugs always looked fine so I watched closely and kept on flying. Mine was old enough such that I had to tap the exhaust manifold myself for EGT probe placement. Turns out I'd done it with the probes about an inch too far from the exhaust outlets where the temps are actually higher than at the recommended 38mm from the exhaust flange. I welded the old holes shut and tapped new ones and now my temps are comfortably down around 1000 deg @ cruise of 5200 rpm or so.

    Subject: Windshield
    I managed to fit my windshield to my (S7) and get all but one hole for the door post drilled successfully. The one hole, at the top of the door post made a crack about 2 to 2 1/2 inches long. I drilled a hole at the beginning of the crack to prevent it from expanding with a 1/8 acrylic bit. My question is: is there an accepted method of patching a crack in acrylic? Thanks, Jim Gilliatt
