| Subject: | The last flight test. Again. |
Using instrumented mags, complete with thermocouples, plus three extra TCs
measuring the ambient temp in the area if the accessories, we did two cli
mb tests from sea-level to 12,500 feet. =C2-The max temperature, correct
ed for 100 degree day, was 190 degrees. =C2-Yea, like I'm ever going to
see 100 degrees at 12,500 feet. =C2-
Anyway, from what I understand, the temperature test on the mags was the
last hold-up for the STC. =C2-We'll see.
By-the-way, I flew alongside Jeff Keesaman and his Tiger with the new cowl
ing, from Lancaster to Auburn last Thursday. =C2-Using my 430 to determi
ne TAS, and with him running about 2780 rpm, he was truing at 152 knots TA
S. =C2-
One thing of note: =C2-Jeff's airspeed indicator was about 5 knots slowe
r than mine. =C2-We need another Tiger to compare airspeed indicators.
Confucius say, "If a man has a watch, he'll always know what time it is.
=C2-If he has two watches, he'll never be quite sure."
