Hi Gary.=C2- Do you still have the original F.K. overlay I loaned you or
do I get a discounted set for providing the basic layout?
=C2-
Thanks,
David

I have a customer with a 2005 Tiger. =C2-I put a power Flow on it about a
month ago. =C2-To the best of my knowledge, he was instructed to take-off
and climb, every time, at 80 knots to practice in case he needed to climb ov
er a 50 foot obstacle. =C2-
Here is his posting to me. =C2-Please give me some feedback as to what the
general consensus is.

Hi Gary. I need some feedback. Today was the second time that I have take
n
off and climbed out at 80 knots, and by the time I am at 1500 to 2000 feet I
have a cylinder head temp of 500 degrees=C2-and a climb rate of 1400 to 1
500 feet/min. The outside air temp was 21 C on=C2-
both days. This was with full throttle and full rich. I was just beginnin
g to
start a cruise climb both times when I noticed it. I was looking for it tod
ay,
but I got cutoff in the downwind turn by two planes coming in and obviously
did
not hear my takeoff call out. By the time I dodged both those guys the temp
was
already at 500. I think the Tach was around 2400. As soon as I saw it I
lowered the nose and the increase in speed cooled it back to 375 or 385 afte
r
what seemed like a minute or two. I was too busy worrying about it to time
the
temp drop. I definitely do not remember seeing those temps when I took it h
ome
or the next couple of flights. The oil is 61/4 qts.
Does this mean that I need to climb out at a 100 or more
because even at those
speeds I have at least 500'/min climb rate or more, or do I have to not use
full throttle on take off? Is this related to the baffling and/or the open
hole, or have I just mucked it up somehow. What cylinder is the probe on an
d
could this be related to heat from the Powerflow near the probe and cylinder
head?
If I am getting this kind of response at these temps, I am definitely concer
ned
about when it really gets hot outside, and what if I really need that Vx cli
mb
rate?
Any suggestions.
As an aside, the first refueling showed a fuel flow of 7.3 gal/hr and today
after refueling it was 9.3. I assume that it is somewhat artificially low
due
to runnup and taxi etc time. This is just feedback.
Thanks
