Hi Paul. I have returned from flying around the North of Western Aus. Please put me back on the
list.
I will measure take of distance and climb out next weekend. Just for now I get off the ground
quicker than the Lyc. and climbout is limited by ambient temperature to 500fpm when its hot.
1000+ when its cool. I have one flap to close the starboard side cowl outlet, for cruise. I use
the vernier throttle to accelerate slowly to limlt the amount of stones thrown up from our dirt
strip.

Just to recap Ian is running a 2.85:1 PSRU ratio and top speed is
over 200 MPH. Nothing special in the way of porting and the
RV6a nose dragger aircraft is not particularly clean aerodynamically.
