Flying!
I am playing catch up on the blog once again. The plane is flying now and I am fighting high oil and cylinder temps….
Speed is great. 160 kts at 2380 rpm. So far she has been up to 186 kts IAS flat out for a short time. Still trying to figure out how to interpret all the information I am getting from the GTR EFIS. Now that the plane is at the airport, my evening are a bit more free and I’ll try to get you up to date…..
UPDATE: Today I went flying and at 2500 ft 2900 rpm top speed of 208 kts (240 mph) TAS was obtained. I easily went up to 220 kts (253 mph) TAS on decent. Wow!
