Finally Smashed Some Bugs


Finally got up in the air today after being off more than seven months! Sometimes I can't believe how much I seem to drag my feet.

Overall ,I am pleased with the result. The OAT on the ground was about 85 degrees and at 7,500 feet density altitude, it was about 67. At my normal cruise setting of 2,600 RPM, the temps stayed around 230 (red line is at 240F). It was only when I tried to go WOT the temps licked at 240. Also, my cylinder #2 has higher temps than the others.

This is a lot better than the carbon fiber sump and I think I should be able to get it a little better with some tweaking. I expect be covering that on the Q-200 Engine Group.
