Gary,
Did the owner report his best cruise speed prior to the conversion to
the MT prop? And, are you going to try to spin it up to 2700 and do a
speed check?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Dear Listers,
Pacbell is suppose to be working the Matronics connectivity issue this
morning. Intermittent connectivity is still a issue although things are
better than yesterday. They will probably be doing some intrusive testing
on the line later today which will disrupt connections during the test.
More information as it becomes available!
Thanks for your patience.
