I am planning on replacing my "mufflers" with my latest and greatest design - I need to quite this exhaust before I lose whats left of my hearing.

We waited until it was VFR (forward viz OK, ceilings slow to lift/burn off) and flew down as a flight of two. Turns out, Ken and I were the **only** planes to fly in to the Breakfast Club, VFR. There was ONE other plane that filed and came in from somewhere near Atlanta I heard. Good friendly people. They even gave us breakfast "on the house" (for making the trip I guess).

Especially on a 50 nm leash. Good going. I hope it is all productive and routine. I managed to log time all three days this weekend; I'm up over 450 hrs now. Woo-hoo! I think I need to get the prop balanced; engine feels rougher than I remember it. Not affected by mixture or carb heat, and EGT's and CHT's are all nominal. Maybe my elastomeric mounts have bottomed out or something. Also noticed the runway was really mushy today after last night's rain. I hit a section of grass on my takeoff roll that felt like flypaper; wasn't sure I was going to be able to unstick it and pull it off. Len, you can come visit now; we sold the last of the ten puppies, so the coast is clear. All we need is a day with no wind ;-) -Stormy ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:02:51 PM PST US From: "Larry Bowen" Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" Yes, this 50 nm circle is very small in an RV. I'm glad the end is in sight. I still have a couple things to do: loading more weight in the back to see how that feels, spins, etc. I practiced x-winds and spins in the Decathlon today. The fantastic visibility makes it all the more fun........ I'm a little concerned about the Barrows Special Edition engine, it's still burning almost a qt per five hours. I had my prop balanced at Burlington. I can feel the difference. - Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: SportAV8R@aol.com [mailto:SportAV8R@aol.com] > Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 6:17 PM > To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com > Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: SportAV8R@aol.com > > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" > --> > > It was a good day to be up. 3.9 hours today and 31.4 total now....... > > - > Larry Bowen > Larry@BowenAero.com > > That's a lot of time in the saddle, Larry.

I have a new 76x88 wooden prop that I will want to get dynamically balanced in the near future.

It cost $65 for them to tell me it was already in balance (0.15 IPS, anything less than 0.2 is considered in balance). They said we can try to get it even better, but the price goes up to $250 if they start adding "wieghts". I was already planning on spending the $250, so I told him to go ahead. So they added the $185 wieght to the flywheel (looked a lot like a bolt and washer to me.) and got it down to 0.05 IPS. It took less than an hour to do. - Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Ed Anderson [mailto:eanderson@carolina.rr.com] > Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 7:19 PM > To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Ed Anderson" > --> > > Larry if you don't mind me asking - who did you get to > balance your prop - I presume you are talking about dynamic > balancing of the prop on the engine. > I have a new 76x88 wooden prop that I will want to get > dynamically balanced in the near future. > > > Thanks > > Ed Anderson > eanderson@carolina.rr.com > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry Bowen" > To: > Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Flying Friday > > > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Larry Bowen" > > > > > Yes, this 50 nm circle is very small in an RV.

He balanced my RV6 a little over a year ago for $100.00. It took a small bolt and washer also. Hall Aviation 843 537 6423.
