Manifold pressure got up to 40.3 inches of HG

Throttle opening slightly higher. About 42%.

Engine RPM 5520.

Dan is learning by sneaking up on it. Good work Dan :-)

Fluid temperatures slightly higher.

Everything else pretty much the same.

It took seven  minutes to taxii from the hangar on the west end to
the start of the runway on the east end.

Paul,

Am collecting parts for my hybrid P port 13BREW (Mistral mount
plate,Iron front side plate <not fond of the engine hanging from a
few bolts from Mistral plate into aluminum threads, Racing Beat
aluminum center and rear plates, P ported rotor housings by Randy
Kempf ).........Considering Lannetti ceramic rotor
seals.............I understand the two piece ceramic seal the best at
low rpm but our flying rotary's idle at least 1500 rpm so I am
leaning toward the one piece Lannetti seals..........Do you know
which of the  Lannetti seal were used in the "TTC" engine and have
you heard from the engine builder a preference for one or the other
??.........

Randy finished "P" porting my rotor housings recently and they look
good........He said he has the procedure nailed down now and can do
the job a lot faster since the Beta job on my housings........

I have no idea what Jim put in the TTC engine.
What ever it was is working great. All six chambers have
identical pressures. If you get a Maximite I'll give you the
program to record the pressures.

The one piece makes sense for the rotary aircraft
engine as you must idle them above 2000 RPM.

There is a resonance problem below that. I have heard that they
will run at high RPM with out seals.

Ask Randy if he is getting my emails. I can't get in touch with him.
When does he answer his phone?
I would like to know what he is doing for gear boxes.
Rumor has it he is working with Neal.
