Mike, Your answer addresses my main concern, overloading the engine. This is an outstanding video. It is the best education I have received in the 6 years of owning a two stroke. That is 6 years and never having an engine with more than 40 hours on it. To some extent my learning curve has been blessed by that. The video needs about an hour to get through properly and I am half through now, but it is great. I took off about a 1 1/2 degrees from my prop and ran it up to just short of 6600 RPM at full throttle. Then I went to fly, and once again, I saw much less during takeoff roll, maybe 6100. In cruise at wide open throttle and level I saw a higher RPM, 6400. So, at least the static versus cruise RPMs make more sense this time. I don't know why I twice have gotten a higher RPM right after installation test than later flight test. Different conditions of some type, but not sure what yet. During that initial runup, I wait for minimum 200 CHT before going above 3000. This time I was careful to increase by 1000 RPM so as to avoid thermal shock, or other anomaly associated with insufficient temp somewhere. Still a mystery to me why it tests at 6600 and later I can only get 6100 static. Can't wait to see the second half of the presentation, but gotta put it down for now. -------- Jeff Dill Model 2 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321644#321644 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:26:04 PM PST US From: Malcolm Brubaker Subject: Kitfox-List: michigan kit foxer =0Amy wife and I are heading up the cub- club michigan fly out to sun fun -.- anyone =0Ainterested- can tage along- or moor appropriately lea d =0A=0Ayou can call any time-- malMalcolm Brubaker =0AMichigan Sport =0APilot Repair =0ALSRM-A, PPC, WS=0A(989)513-3022 =0A=0A=0A=0A=0A_________ _______________________=0AFrom: WurlyBird =0A ubject: Kitfox-List: Re: fiberglass fuel tanks needed=0A=0A--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "WurlyBird" =0A=0AI am rem oving the wing tanks from my Mod 3.- The left tank started leaking a =0Al ittle so I am going to the nylon ones from Wingtanks.com.- I was home on leave =0Alast week and removed the left one and the glass has some spiderwe bs forming in =0Athe lower surface.- I did not reveal the right one so I cannot say if it is in =0Abetter condition.- I will be home in March and the tanks will come off promptly =0Aafter that.- You are welcome to them for shipping costs at that time if you =0Alike.=0A=0AJames=0A=0A--------=0A James=0AKitfox 3 / 582 / 70" IVO 2 blade GA=0A50 hrs on the Fox in bet ween deployments,=0A- - - now she lies in wait=0A=0A=0A=0A=0ARead thi s topic online here:=0A=0Ahttp://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=321 ======0A=0A=0A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
