Tex,
Sounds like your engine is doing great; I didn't realize that you
had flown already. Congratulations! Please send us a picture of the
whole plane.

Subject: Lightning-List: rotating the carb
A few weeks ago I asked which way to rotate the carb to possibly
even out the egt's. It works. I now have the cht's within 30 degrees of
each other and the egt's within 45 degrees of each other. I also noted
that after about 30 minutes at cruse they are almost even. Tex

Hello again Tex
Thank you for the explanation. I didn't realize it made a difference. I
thought the carb position was fixed and that all cylinders received
equal mixture. I have a lot to learn about the Jabiru.

Subject: Re: Lightning-List: rotating the carb
Gary, It is possible to rotate the carb a few degrees on its mount by
loosing the strap which holds it to the engine. By turning the bottom of
the carb towards the lean side of the engine ( indicated by the EGT
temps on that side) will slightly richen the mixture being drawn thru
the Ventura to that side of the intake manifold. Fuel enters the system
from a port in the bottom of the carb. This is only a slight difference
but can be helpful in obtaining a more even mixture for all cylinders. I
hope I have described this correctly, if not someone can chime in. Tex

Subject: | Tie down and jack point |
I really liked Peter Dasher's wing tie down Idea. I want to try to
incorperate both the tie down and a jack pad at each wing. Also I want
to keep it recessed or flush with the wing as each little item has drag
. Has anyone have any new ideas on this to share? Tex

Hi Tex, A good Idea from Buz is to use steel angle and weld the nuts to
the angles whereby you can screw the eye bolt into the wing only when
needed, you would not then drag the eye bolt through the wind.

Subject: | Re: Tie down and jack point |
I saw Peter's tie down idea. I'm going to use it too. I thought about
making fairings in front of the islets for drag, but, if they could be
recessed, that would be better. Anyone have an idea how? Also, how do
you make jack pads on the wings?
Thanks everyone.
Gary
