If you haven't done so already, you can download AC 90-89a Amateur Built Aircraft and Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook for free. Someone at the FAA paid extra for the corny cartoons, but the info is solid. Thanks for the updates! Keep 'em coming.

This gives a static test of 2850 RPM. The engine ran for a full two minutes at full static RPM. steve.freeman(at)syntaxds wrote: > Did you have the prop feathered? > > Steve > > -- -------- Ron Lendon, Detroit, MI WW Corvair with Roy's Garage 5th bearing Zodiac XL, ScrapBuilder ;-) http://www.mykitlog.com/rlendon Corvair Engine Prints: http://www.zenith.aero/profile/RonLendon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=376475#376475 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:42:36 PM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Re: Two minute WOT Ground Testk From: SyntaxDS And the breaks held ok at full throttle?
