Paul. I hope you got home safely.

Slept under the wing Saturday night. Got hundreds of Moskito bytes.

I left Sunday morning and got to Newberry SC. where I stayed overnight. 
Ed Anderson and the other fellow from the north turned back to Tracy's.

Then at 4 the next evening flew to Hickory, HKY.  Put down near dusk and found a motel.

Tuesday morning, overcast again, but broke up at about 9am.  Got in 
the air and flew 7500 over ROA to W13. found a hole in the clouds and came down through.

Engine ran fine, except different mixture setting than on the way down.  
155 kts true and mixture richer than set. 7000 rpm.

If you want someone to test the new exhaust chamber, I need to revise 
mine. I would put the Archamedes screw in the out pipe.

Where would you put the EGT probes, and could we turn the 
output down a bit without hurting performance?

Please put me on the Fly Rotary list.

Some crazy ideas from the fly in.

1. Using Lignt bulbs for indicators rather than LED's.

2. The electric water pump came up late Saturday night.  I think you will 
have to prove it to them or they will have to fail with it.

3. Some think the Rotary is a do-all. Even with the 2.85:1 reduction 
drive like I have.  We need to listen to you and Tracy for best results.
 A heavy Lance Air with a 20B and 2.85 drive may not perform like the man wants.

4. Jegs catalog has AN plumbing fittings for 1/3 the price of other catalogs.

5. I added a oiler to my thrust bearing and a extra drain from that 
area. I felt little oil was coming thru the gear set.

Thanks for the rides back and forth.

Too soon to say on the muffler Jerry. I need to do some more testing.
Unless of course you want to do the testing :)
In that case we could have Tracy ship it to you.
