Since I did the air box thing our temps were down 30 degrees and I noticed a 100 dgree spread in egts. I can only guess it is because of higher volume of air in carb. Went back to scatt tube and removed airbox deflector and problem solved. I am still working on it, when I find the fix I will let you know, and yes I know moving south may be the answer Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: N1BZRich@aol.com To: lightning-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 8:34 PM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: airbox Thanks, Dave. As to bringing your motor home, yes, I certainly would. Only some areas are really bad, but some are OK, as I see some parked with no problems at all. I have heard that the camping registration people were taking people out on golf carts to look at potential spots, but I don't know if that is for sure, or is they are still doing that. Hope to see you soon. Buz In a message dated 7/23/2010 2:19:13 P.M.

The original 4 screws will even work that hold the air box cover in place. What it does is acts as a spacer to keep the filter 1/2 inch further out. I made this up prior to any flights so I could document all changes having same flight conditions. It is made from stock alum. then drilled out to lighten it. Thinking of making it out of wood because it is not in intake airflow, weight thing. When I did the filter thing I had no change in egts, egts changed only when I change to air box inlet tube. You gotta tell me, will I get stuck with the motor home, or should I wait and come later in the week Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: N1BZRich@aol.com To: lightning-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: airbox Dave, I have the photos, but not sure I understand how the 1/2 in spacer works. Can you explain more and maybe send an additional photo as to how it moves the filter further away from the firewall? The rubber tube from air box to carb is understandable, as is the insert to keep the air from being too turbulent, but just don't understand how you moved the filter 1/2 in further away from the firewall and still got it to fit in the air box. Did you modify the air box? Keep up the good work, Buz In a message dated 7/22/2010 4:05:51 P.M.
