Ken;
I forgot to post my ASI range numbers. I took a look at the airspeed indicator
and here are the range markings on Scout: green arc, Vs to Vno, is from 32 to
80 MPH. Yellow arc, Vno to Vne, is from 80 to 96 MPH.
As you know, my airplane has an A75 and performs quite conventionally.
Off-topic, are you anywhere near the Denver airport? We changed planes there two
weeks ago and forgot my wife's MacBook Pro in the United terminal at one of
the gates. We put in a lost & found claim but it's been right at two weeks and
nothing has shown up. However, we used "Find My Mac" on iCloud and it shows
that the computer has not been opened or logged in to the internet since we
misplaced it, so it's probably sitting on a shelf somewhere in the United lost
& found. It is set to lock and then to show a message on the screen offering
a reward for its return (we just want the pictures back, not necessarily the
computer)- but nothing has been touched so we're still in hopes that it's sitting
there. We've changed all the necessary passwords and accounts... nothing is
amiss in two weeks. I have found out by calling every conceivable phone number
for United customer service, our United Club concierge, and the Denver airport
that the only way I can speak directly to someone with United at Denver is
to physically go there. If anybody is near there who might be able to help,
there is a reward for its return and it's more than just the price of a burger
and a tank of gas.

Folks, this was a milestone weekend. Below are links to a couple short
videos of the initial engine starts of my Corvair powered Pietenpol. It
was a beautiful day yeserday in northern Colorado, made even better by the
sounds of six cylinders working in harmony. Some of you will recognize
Rick Holland in the videos checking for leaks. None were found. The
engine stayed dry as a bone. Cheers, Ken

Ken;
What joy! That thing looks to be running silky-smooth in the videos! The sound
is of a very smooth, very even, happy engine. Apparently your Swiss silencers
are quite effective as well.
Looking forward to reports on taxi testing, which from all appearances should be
quite soon. Congratulations!
