Eastern Daylight Time, Afterfxllc@aol.com writes: Hi All Well today after much aggravation with the Aero Carb on the Corvair engine we decided to switch to a MA-3A and had it rebuilt with a MA-3SPA nozzle to richen it up slightly. We taxied the plane 4 or 5 times thru all power setting before our test pilot was called to duty. Ralph (test pilot) had flown with me in the first 601xl I built so he was not as nervous as a first time test pilot would be flying behind a Corvair or even the 601 for that matter. The first flight went off without a hitch and the Corvair preformed as expected the prop is set at 10 1/2 degrees 2700 to 2800 static and 2900 109 MPH climb out. The CHT's were around 300 and the oil temp was 210 degrees before the cooler EGT's were around 1,200 degrees. All the parts on this plane are from Aerolite and the new Tech that picks up from the AC side of the alt worked great also (No more flywheel pickup). The new cowling and ram air Baffles really keep the temps down but I know our oil cooler setup works better than any other cooler out there when combined with our baffles. Tomorrow I will fit the wheel Pants and tinker with the trim a bit but all and all a great day.
