My Mazda RV-6 passed inspection last week and I will be making the first
flight soon. I used 5A breakers for each of the dual fuel pumps and one kept
tripping during high speed taxi tests Sunday, so now I am waiting for new
10A breakers. It was 95degrees out and water started getting hot after back
to back runs, previously I ran it at full static power 4900 RPM for 5
minutes and temps stabilized OK. I will keep the list informed.

You read my mind Chuck. I was just about to ask how it was going.
I will have to add that web site to the ACRE NL web site list.

Hi Chuck;
       I've spent quite a bit of time scrutinizing your
pictures of your engine installation, and I must in all
honesty say that it's one of the neatest, well thought
out, cleanest and streamlienest (new word :-), I have
personally seen.
It really is a shame to cover it up with a cowling, so
make sure your cowling will be easy to take off for fly-
in show and tell. ( You might also consider a Plexiglas
cowling :->)
If that's indicative of your RV's general quality, I'd
say you have a winner there. Hope to see it soon in
person.
The best of luck to you..........Enjoy, looks like you
earned it.

I second that motion Chuck I would like to take some pictures of the 
engine with out the cowling at Copper State. Can we arrange that?
