John is going to try to break my record. :P
Is he going to fly it or hang it from the ceiling? [Laughing]

Sounds like good progress, Bill. Hope it works out well. We will put all
your info and data in the newsletter when you get the chance. And yes, I
would still like your Hacman. I was impressed with how it worked when I
flew with in the demo. In the long run, if your TBI experiments work out, I
may eventually switch to that as well - and would then pass the Hacman on
to others.
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to putting all your experiences
and data on the Rotec TBI in a future newsletter issue.

It was bound to happen: I finally got some time at the airport!
I built an adapter to go from the TBI to the scat tubing so the TBI and
adapter together are a drop-in replacement for the Bing as far as the airflow
goes. The adapter is made from 1/4" phenolic with a 2.25" inch hole in
which a 2.25" outer diameter aluminum tube was epoxy/flocked. I'll get the
pics off my phone tomorrow.
I also assembled the regulator to the TBI with an AN-6 90 degree fuel
fitting and an AN-6 to 1/4" NPT thread into the regulator. Pics tomorrow will
also explaing.
I had to scrounge to find those particular parts, and the regulator is
positioned nicely now.
THen some 1/16" aluminum angle to make a brace from the TBI to the
regulator was fabricated.
A similar angle was made at the bottom of the phenolic block to attach the
mixture control cable.
That cable and a longer throttle cable were both received from Aircraft
Spruce last week.
Bottom line: It looks like it's all going to fit fine, and what I spent a
few weeks scratching my head over is all going to come together.
If it quits raining I hope to fire up the engine tomorrow without the
ability to lean the mixture, and then will keep working on routing new
controls. I hope by this weekend I'll have my new mixture cable, primer, and
throttle cables installed and be back flying.
Boy, I can't wait. This is so clean compared to the Bing. If it works
well I'll be thrilled.
Buz, you still want the Hacman? It's yours for the taking. If not, next
in line?
Update in a few days.
