Subject: RE: Tiger update
Gary,
How does your climb rate compare to book with the 65" prop, and what static
RPM do you generate?
Also, in addition to porting and polishing your cylinders, what additional
treatments did you have Lycon do?

Well, for those of you who didn't make it to Baraboo, WI, you missed a lot
of
rain and cold. But, seriously, it was a good fly-in. The townfolk were
really friendly and the maids and fast food service people all spoke english
as
a first language. And they say that Americans are to lazy to work. There
was a lot to do and a lot to see. The country side was really pretty to
fly
over.
I really wanted to finish a cowling and take it. We got really close.
just ran out of time. I spent 12-20 hours a day for a month trying to get
all
the mods to my Tiger finished, plus work on other peoples planes (who wanted
to
fly to Baraboo), plus teach 4 nights a week, plus finish a new cowling.
I am quite happy with the Tiger. With buried antennas, no steps, new
Cylinders by LyCon (ported and polished), a complete Garmin stack (340 audio
panel,
430, SL-60 GPS-Com, and 327 transponder), a JPI 800, digital Horizon tach,
new
carpets, and trick side panels (you'd really need to see the side panels to
appreciate them). How fast is it? Well, with a 65 in pitch prop, I can
red-line the engine at 12,000 feet (though just barely) and it trues at over
145
knots. There is still a lot to do.
CHTs: On climbout, with an OAT of 90+, it's pretty hard to keep the CHT on
#3 below 450. The other cylinders run 20-30 degrees cooler. I think this
is pretty odd since #3 is the first one to cool when the power is removed,
during descent. On descent, #3 will show a cooling rate (as shown on the
JPI)
that is noticably faster than the other cylinders. Angle of attack is
clearing
a big player in the cooling of #3.
Throttled back to 130 knots (true), I can lean to about 7.5 to 8.3 gallons
per hour.
The next step is to investigate the pressure drop across the cylinders.
Gary

I get a pretty good climb rate. I'm limited by #3 overtemping. I have to
throttle back and add carb heat until I get level.
I had LyCon ceramic coat the tops and coat the skirts with ? I forget what
it's called.
