     Yes, yes, and yes. (O2, EGT and Manifold pressure).  Don't actually have a

     OK next flight record EGT, O2  and MAP and let us know what they are.

     Part of your problem is that filter for sure. Way too small. Fly with out it and
     report back. Also build a cold air box and a snorkel scoop. You will be amazed.

Paul, First congratulations on becoming airborne! Second; I totally agree
with Paul L that your air filter is restrictive. It would be small for a 1 liter
piston engine running wide open. If you must have a filter, (I'm not against
that) you need one about 4 times bigger to prevent a restriction. As
Paul mentioned try running without it. Do a run up to full throttle and
if it continues to pull beyond 1/2 throttle you won't even have to fly it
to know that is the problem.
