I don't have a fuel mixture cutoff installed on this plane - and it takes about 4-5 minutes of idling before it will shut down after fuel valve shutoff - so I sat and played with the throttle and occasionally flipped one or both mags on/off again (to see if I had a P-lead issue).

From: helspersew@aol.com Hello all, Well I flew my Piet for 2-1/2 hrs this weekend. I now feel confident enoug h about the plane and pilot to venture out past the airport perimeter now. Work permitting, I would like to hook-up with the gaggle that will be pas sing through here on Thursday afternoon; Jack Phillips, Randy Busch, John Hoffman, and Dan (the man) Yokum. That would make five of us all arriving at the same time. Cool. My prop works GREAT! Even at the slowest of idles, I can hardly keep the airplane still, even in the grass. Still have a couple of oil leaks. I was able to plug the two major ones, so it is a manageable flow :O). As far as that nose-heaviness, I adjusted the outboard LE of the horizontal stab "down" with the help of the wires. This worked great, and I almost have it. This week I will replace my trim bungee cords with larger diameter, so hopefully my trim system will be ab le to take the rest of it out. Still trying to figure out why I am nose heavy. I talked to Walt Bowie (Fo rd A) a while back, and he said his plane is nose heavy also. I am really looking forward to meeting (again) with everybody on this list . I will be hanging around my plane a lot. Please stop by and say hello.

So, I got the new oil pressure gauge installed on Wed night about 10:30 and finally too her out for a spin, today. There was a 7-8 second lag before any reading came up on the gauge, but when it did start to increase it was nice and smooth, not the *pop* like before. Initial cold oil pressure was 45-50 and only fell to about 42 when the temp climbed to 175F. At idle it was 15. I'll try to fly it a couple more time before Thursday, but I think I'll call it good and move on... Dan On 07/09/2010 08:04 PM, Dan Yocum wrote: > I swear, I can't win for losing!
