Hi Clifford, I would be glad to fly along side of you an compare speeds. You have flown in my plane but probably don't remember the numbers. I have flown next ...
Ok I spent the better part of the day at the FBO - 4 mechanics spent 4 hours trying to figure this one out. we thought perhaps timing was off - it's set at 24...
What is your climb rate? ... spent 4 hours trying to figure this one out. ... stroke is supposed to be 4.375 inches - it was right on. ... size and we don't...
it's right up there - 1500 fpm or more -I'll get some exact figures next time I fly it's off the runway in 300 feet and climbs like a son of a gun? however,...
I bought some plexiglass cleaner from some big name airplane - it would not remover the goo from duck tape on my windshield. I wasn't sure what to do -today...
Vans puts 200hp solo weight climb rate at 2,550fpm for the RV-7. 1500 may seem really awesome relative to spam, but it means your probably missing something...
Cliff , It sounds like your not checking your cam timing at top dead ctr. but split overlap. That's 180 degrees from top dead ctr. Position your piston at what...
FWIW, guys, I had a similar problem a couple of years back with my RV-8. My 200+hp, IO-360-A1B6, Hartzell c/s equipped airplane was climbing about 1600 fpm...
here are some numbers Full throttle in both cases: test A: Manifold Pressure: 27 RPM's 2700 MPH - 140 _____________ Test B: Manifold Pressure: 27 RPM's -...
Hi Cliff, On it's best day 28" and 2700 rpm.. Regards, Bob G. 628GT ... From: "Clifford Dow" <cdowjr@...> To: <BostonRVBuilders@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Cliff, I doubt seriously that you are going to get more than 27 inches mp at 6K. My high time Mooney would not do that well. Sounds to me like your engine is...
It is possible to build an engine and have the cam timing gear timed wrong - off by one tooth can make a big difference in power output. I found the following...
Just some thoughts on others suggestions and Cliff's report. Cliff, you mentioned that climb was about 1500 fpm. What speed was that at. Vy is surprisingly...
Cliff jr, I wish my engine would do 27 inches at 6000 feet. You must have a turbo charger as atmospheric pressure is 24 inches at 6000 ft at std conditions. To...
Hi Cliff, I had to run to Chatham today and did a test with some numbers that might help.I know my tach is right on. I flew over at 2400 feet 25" and 2500 rpm...
I've just finished yet another round of bargain basement shopping. Nobody at work cares... So there's always you guys: An ECI electronic ignition $500 Sheered...
I have extremely limited experience with Fuel Injection - but knowing what's going on certainly helped me. For example, we wanted to know if the fuel injectors...
I wouldn't say teh purge does not work but it does take at least a minute of pumping. I have found teh most important factor in hato starts is to IMMEDIATY...
Hi all: Had a conversation with an AI friend of mine yesterday. He described a sick engine that sounds much like Cliffs. After much checking and rechecking he...
Hi Cliff, Have you pulled your oil filter yet? If not I would and see if the engine is making metal.The cam lobes might be soft and the valves not opening and...
I second Bob G's suggestion. Just a reminder that MP + RPM does not equal power. It holds true for a properly running engine, but not for an engine with...
Thanks for the ideas - i'm headed in for radio work tomorrow morning at PWM - so I should be good and broke this weekend!! I'll do some more testing this...
Correct - I tested that this morning - didn't solve the problem. I'm climbing at only 1500 FPM at 100 MPH. So i'm definately not getting 180 HP out of this...
I just got back from seeing Cliff's 7A. It's very yellow! But well done. I watched him take-off. I counted 170 paces (~500') take-off distance with a 10kt...
