Quote: | I am typing on the road and don't think this reply will make it to
the list, but thanks to all for your input. I spoke with Ronnie
Smith today, who rebuilt my engine at South Mississippi. He echoed
speculation that I am running too rich, yes my plugs were black and
my EGTs were around 950. He says that I should see 85MPH out of a
Model 2 with a 582 and suggested putting more pitch in the prop. I
thought I had set it to be a cruise prop and am skeptical. Yes I
like low and slow. I fly plenty fast plenty often. Greetings from
Trinidad BTW. I had the door open and loved it. I guess I would
like to see an improvement over driving for enroute times.
