Was it the restrictive air filter? No. Was it tuning? No. Was it
a restrictive exhaust? No. Was it the stupid $@%^& spring that I
used to pull the throttle open in case of a broken  cable? Uh
-huh!  Re-configured it, now, instead of getting 4400 RPM and
- 100 hp, I get 5600 and 190 hp on a static ground run. The
- brakes can barely hold the plane back at full throttle on
- pavement.


Next flight should be on Tuesday.

Is this the spring Brian?
How are you determining the HP?

Brian,

Congratulations.   Glad you found the detail.  Say what is the
length of your intake runners?

Cheers
