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.

Hi Ian,
How was your trip? Any problems with the engine? How far East did
you fly?  Sounds like a lot of fun. Got any pictures of that new cowl flap?

If you have a paint program and a map of Australia I would love
to see your itinerary marked on the map.

Here is a map and itinerary of our C172 flying trip in Central
and Eastern Australia.
