       I must be missing something, high 40's refers to inches of water
       doesn't it?

       Inches of Hg Bill. Aircraft manifold pressure is always Hg mercury.
       30 inches of Hg is roughly 15 psi.

       I was way wrong on the 16 psi boost. Sorry. More like 16 inches
       of Hg or 8 psi boost. Been up since 4.00 AM.
       House building stuff 60 miles away in heavy LA traffic.
       Thanks for catching that.

       BTW One inch of water is about .44 psi.

   Exactly!
   Paul, you have been spending too much time on the automotive sites if
   you were thinking that I meant PSI of Boost..  :-)

   So to put it in your terms..   yes about 8 PSI boost...  at SL...  that
   was full throttle, ROP, and gave me a solo climb of more than 2500 with
   my fp prop.

   I could climb away from any other RV I know, but I could only do it for
   about 10 sec because of cooling....   Soon to be fixed.  New rad being
   mounted as we speak....

   I have your motor mount adapter cut. Do you want to meet me
   at Mazdatrix tomorrow? Or I can leave it there.

That looks great.  How many blades did you end up going through?  :-)

I have to work all week, wont be able to make it to madzatrix and have
no plans to go there.  I'll come up there sometime and get it.  Maybe
the Saturday after t-giving?
