Subject: HACman test
I re-installed my HKS on my Kolb Firestar after testing a 503 that I had acquired. I neglected to re-install my HACman system from Green Sky. I also left off the tubes from the chamber vent ports. This of course force fed the carbs. I flew to the top of the Steen's Mtn, or rather attempted to.

The engine was running rough, EGT's Dropped to 940 or less, could not maintain rpm's and finally had to drop off the Mtn at 9600 feet. My RPM's Dropped to 5400 at that altitude with full throttle.
I re-installed the HACman from Jerry and finally got the time to fly. It was pretty overcast with smoke from the California fires. I had a bit of trouble with my camera having enough light to give a clear picture.
My best climb speed is 50 MPH, and I averaged 500 FPM to 10,100 feet MSL That is a climb of 6100 feet. It took me 23 minutes to climb. The HACman allowed me to maintain 1230 EGT, engine rpm's remained at 5750 RPM's. Engine CHT was 315 degrees.
At 10100, I cut the engine and did a dead stick landing. It took me 10 minutes to touch down at a descent speed of 40 MPH. I also checked my stall speed at 10,000 feet and it was 29 MPH.
The engine never seemed to bog down and ran just like it should. I can't say enough about Jerry (at)Green sky Adventures for the help he has given me. Of course my little Kolb Firestar II completes the picture.
After landing I restarted the engine and after it warmed up, took off again and flew around the area for a bit for a total flight time of 54 minutes. I burned 1.75 gallons of fuel for the entire flight.
