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.

Hm.  If I had a “0.0” in chart of test data, I might wonder whether
my sensor was working properly.  Any chance the exhaust pressure
sensor setup is broken somewhere?

Dave Klingler

The sensor is a 100 psi sensor so the range is huge.
Don't forget that 1.25" diameter hole in the exhaust manifold.

I have seen 2 psi in some of the high power runs.

I'll see if I can find that data log.
