On third test flight by an experienced test pilot.
I will get some more details.

Ian,

G'day guys,
Yeah, I know about that Cobra. I didn't know the Jabiru was in the air yet,
I thought  the engine was still being fitted. The Cobra in question ( unless
there has been one I didn't know about) was crashed on landing when the wing
went under a boundary fence line. The pilot of that plane had a history in
the Air Force but many years ago. Thats the one that burnt most of the
fuselage. It was totally pilot error and not related to my pitch problems.
Incidently I am now waiting for the antiservo tabs.

Keep all the good info coming, I am learning heaps!

Do you have any pictures or a sketch of the exhaust system on the Cobra? I
need to confirm that a simple system won't wake you up from Western
Australia.
What ignitor coil packs are you using?

Ian Beadle.
