Excellent! Have you sent any pictures to Vans? They are looking for some for
their annual calendar.

Great pictures! Sorry I couldn't be there. Many thanks again to Ken and
James for the help with the minor problem on my bird last Friday. Worked
on my baffles all day Saturday and think I may have found a fix to my
"backwards" heating problem! Hottest cylinder never went above 395F even
during slow speed/high power climb on the second test flight. Maybe I'm on
to something, finally.
P.S. We are running our prototype "Race to Ridgeland" next weekend and I
am looking for potential "racers" to participate and help us develop our
handicapping database. Handicapping a light plane race is a bit science
and a bit dark art! If you'd like to join in the fun next Saturday morning
(15 Oct), please contact me via email (lee.logan@gulfstream.com). I'm
looking for as wide a variety of aircraft as I can get. The "course" is
129.5nm long and begins at Bamberg (99N), turns at St. George (6J2), runs
to Allendale (88J), then to Plantation Air Park (JYL), and finally to
Ridgeland (3J1). I'll be set up at my hangar at Ridgeland when you come
in. We're hoping everyone can be on course by around 9:00am so the last
plane will be in before 10:30 or 11:00 before it starts to get too bumpy.
The whole point to the prototype "race" is to help us understand the
handicapping challenge for the real race we plan to conduct at our First
Annual Ridgeland Fly-In next spring. If you're interested in further
details you can call me as follows:
912 965 4903 work

The pictures are nice but #2 (that be me) is OUT OF POSITION!
I was a bit power challenged on takeoff.
But hey, on the two-ship arrival, I was right in position!! :-)
Again, thanks Radomir.

James, looks to me like #2...that be you! was lagging some but then in the
next shot...was right in line....looked very good to me.
I've never done 3 ship take-off....lots of 2 ships with Larry and his
-6.....still learning but having a careful BLAST.

Thanks for the compliment.
Turns out (and I am about to share some our secrets :-) ), I was calling
"gimme some", which means "hey lead, slow down, I can't keep up!!" and Bill
misinterpreted that to mean MORE POWER in HIS ship (usually HE is flying #2
and when he says that he is ADDING power). :-)
He was single person, I was two (note I told Nancy he was lighter, not that
we were "heavier". :-)
Fortunately #3 suggested a position swap for the pass, giving me some
advantage on the inside of the turn. Of course, that require a lot more
juice from him, so there is one shot where he is lagging just a bit.
What I would like to get is a shot of all tires leaving the ground at the
same time. Ken and I have practiced that enough now that we can pretty much
get it within a second or two.
KLKR is wide enough for a three ship take-off. KCUB (home for me) is wide
enough only for a 2-ship.
Again, thanks for the compliment though.

Yeah Len,
We missed ya!!!! How can we do a 4-ship when "4" is MIA??? :-)
LKR is a good place to practice. Not much traffic, good vittles, wide runway
(section take-off and landing practice), **AND** new FBO owners who
encourage us to come and fly!!!
Hard to beat I think.
I suggest our next practice (and food gathering) be held there.
James
p.s. Bill, you will notice, I spilled the beans on our take-off. :-)

That was my post and I had an odd situation. My front cylinders are the
ones overheating. I may have had a case of "JPI Disease", but I don't
really think so. Nevertheless, after I installed a JPI EDM-700, I observed
high front cylinder temps. I also installed GAMInjectors (standard set for
an IO-360) and upon testing got excellent "peak" results. All were within
a half gallon/hour of each other. Front temps were still high, especially
on full power, during climbs, and in slow flight.
I re-sealed my baffles, checked for slag in the cylinder fins, added seals
around the IO intake, fresh seals in the cooling air intake, and double
checked the CHT and EGT probes were correctly connected (small propane
burner torch works for EGT's). Boiled water (good ole hangar
microwave---popcorn is not the only thing it is good for!). All CHT's read
212 F. Sooo... I was starting to think I'd have to go with an aftermarket
plenum and rebaffle all over again.
Everyone told me NOT to remove the baffles immediately in front of my front
cylinders as that would upset the integrity of my whole "system". Only
thing I could think of I hadn't done (other than starting all over with a
new cowl/plenum/baffle set/etc.). Drilled out part of my front baffle
plates (not the "ramps" that angle down to flow air in over the
cylinders---the flat front plates that blank the front cylinders directly
on most installations). Took off on a test flight expecting to be back on
the ground within seconds with overtemped rear cylinders and voila!---the
fronts were cooler and the rears stayed the same! Pulled the cowlings
again and removed the remaining pieces of flat baffling and flew again.
60-70 cooler on number 1 and 40 cooler on number 2 (there is more I can
remove on number 2). The rears stayed where they were. I hope I'm
finished with this, but will probably try to remove a little more from
number 2 the next time I have the cowl off. If it flys cool again this
weekend (couldn't have been my imagination, could it???)---I'll be a happy
guy! Every RV cooling intake I look in has these plates in place---don't
know why mine is different. Does anyone have any ideas? Just keeping up
with James and Ken is hard work for my airplane!!

We have ramps for the WINTER. Otherwise the front cylinders are too cool.
Have to take them off in teh summer.
I am sure you will BLOW PAST both of us now (assuming you have fixed the
gear leg fairing :-) )

None in particular.
Make sure the baffling is in place.
Make sure there is not too much of a blockage ramp in front.
