| Subject: | Corvair engine test results |
Update
I now have my static RPMs up to 2500 with easy starting, good idle, good
transition, and 280 lbs thrust. I changed the dwell from 28 to 34
degrees, readjusted the timing to 14 degrees, and readjusted the main
mixture screw on the Zenith Bandix to 1 turn open. I did this with the
aid of a 'Colortune' spark plug. Colortune is a clear spark plug that
lets you see the color of the flame in the cylinder. The best
compromise of color that I could get was a little rich (yellow) at idle
and full power, with normal (blue) in mid range. These changes got me
the extra 100 RPM and extra 40 lbs thrust. I probably will not do much
more engine testing until the airplane is complete (2 more years).

I have added a new page to my web site with current results and home
grown analysis for my Corvair powered Piet. Have a look at
http://users.adelphia.net/~morrisons5/engine_test.html to see how your
results compare. Frankly, I'm not sure what to think!

Hi Dave
Did you find Vi Kapler ?
I would like to know the details so I can also get some hinges from him,I have
read on another site that he makes many other Piet parts as well.
Thanks
Carson

N502R took to the air today after a complete rebuild of her A-65 and
having her wings moved aft 2.75" for better CG, plus a new Struba 74 X
38 prop. It seems like it has been a long haul to get to this point but
as soon as the wheels left the ground it all became worth it.
So often we over look just how we got from point A to point B. I want
to thank all of you on this list for all of your help you willingly
provided. You all had a part in getting me airborn again. Wish you
could have been there.
Flew for a little over an hour, with six takeoffs and landings.
Everything went unbeliveably well except for having a mud dubber nest in
my airspeed indicator line (I just said the heck with it and flew
anyway, keeping an eye on my AOA indicator). What a joy the Piet is to
fly now that I have moved the wings back. Made a big difference in how
she handles. It was 90 degrees out but she still climbed out very well
with full fuel and my 200 lbs. New prop made a big difference. The
engine couldn't have ran better.
All in all, a very good day for this poor ol fat Alaska boy living in
HOT Tennessee.
Gene

Well alright, Gene! Glad to hear you have wings again. Yes indeed, it is a
great feeling to get in the air, Pietenpol style! Probably a bunch of
little things to tweak and tune and touch up, but the important thing is
that it's an airplane again, and not a "project" anymore!
Congratulations from 41CC.
