Flew over to Wetumpka Airport to wash my airplane.
Remember, yesterday after cleaning and oiling my K&N air filters, power had
dropped from 5400 rpm climb out and 5600 rpm WOT straight and level flight,
to 5200 and 5500. I had made three changes to the engine that could
possibly caused the change, but did not know which one. Now I do.
This morning, I was climbing out at 5300 and turning 5600 WOT straight and
level. My guess is that over oiling had restricted air flow a little
causing a reduction in power, because today she is screaming just where I
want it.
There is still 100 rpm difference climbing out, but this may be attributed
to air temp and density altitude. Who knows. I'm happy.
Now it is time to start making my pile of camping gear and clothes in the
middle of the living room floor in preparation for departure to Lakeland,
Florida, tomorrow. Probably will not leave here until around noon to arrive
LAL after 1800 and miss the air show.
I'm ready for a little trip and looking forward to seeing all my Kolb
friends at Paradise City.
