I'm still welding on tabs...........should I use any tabs for the firewall? other than across the top......How about to attach the fireblanket? I'v read that...
Curious if any of you are seeing the same indications I am.... On Takeoff with full throttle and showing 2400 rpm I have a 50 degree split in the EGT's with...
Paul, Those temps seem very high to me. My prop is not optimized so I'm not able to turn much over 2750 in level flight. In all honesty, I haven't looked at...
Mike, for what it's worth, I used only a couple tabs on the firewall, mainly to keep it from oil canning too badly. I copied this from some of JC's photos....

Tnx Brian, since the one cylinder is hotter than the rest by a significant margin, that was going to be my next step. If you could, see what your EGT's do at...

Paul- You need to go to the Yahoo Lycoming forum and discuss this with Mahlon. The fuel atomization and distrubition-balance between cylinders- is notoriously...
Tnx Jim, next time in OSH will go talk to Monnett. I have a PS5, but did not do well on getting it to idle on the 0-320 and did not want to spend the money....

Most likely because the engine won't runn well with ram air through the Aerocarb. This device is similar to the Ellison throttle body and the Posa and Lake...

Tnx Bill, I will try getting the Marvel figured out, but always curious about other ideas. Will research the AeroCarb from Monnett. 3" rise would to the...
I have an Ellison on my Pitts (O-320, 160 HP), with a standard airbox with carb heat door and bracket air filter on the front. Probably gets some ram air but...
Well let's see... If we fly (commercial) to London, we can take a train to see Mike, then take the Chunnel trains to France and then maybe other trains to...
Tnx for the input Dave. Is throttle response good? or do you have to be pretty conservative? Have prior experience with a Posa that would stumble if you were...

Never had a stumble, and the throttle on a fixed pitch Pitts does get shoved quickly at times. Another note however is that the mixture control feels a bit...
Hi Guys, Does anyone know what is the NACA airfoil number for TW wing? In the manual (part of plans set) I received from ACS they stated that it's NACA 4309....
I'll take a stab at it... The 4309 airfoil is the top profile of the wing. The bottom appears to be straight (flat) from the front spar aft, from there...
Dave; The W-10 is my project. Last night I had to pull the engine and mount to make some mods on the engine mount to mount the oil cooler. I have some...

The original was a 4309 I think. I once heard Steve say that when he went to the deeper spar he left the top of the airfoil like the original and made the...
