First pic. Here we are getting ready to go for a ride.
Second pic is MAP 37 Engine RPM is 5560.
Dave has a 2.17:1 gear box. EGT exiting
the turbo is 766 centigrade or about 1410 F.
I am not sure of the rest of the numbers so
Dave will have to tell us when he sees this.
Third pic.
I think we are going 117 Kts IAS and climbing
at 940 FPM but Dave will have to confirm this
as well. Sorry the pics are not better but the
lighting was less than ideal.
BTW the surge was not surge but bad spark plugs AKA "sag".
Dave fixed that before he left home to fly up to
SZP. Dave will also fill us in on that hopefully.
------------------------------------
Next pic. I am going to let Dave explain these
numbers. Looks like 175 TAS 233 Hdg 1250 feet Alt.
It appears I was wrong on the 940 FPM rate of climb above.
I now think that was 940 feet Alt and I don't know what
the airspeed was but it could have been ???
With all this new fangled electronic stuff I feel like a dog watching TV :)
