FireFlyers and Kolbers,
Yesterday the FireFly passed the 200th hour in the air.
The last ten flights have been used to dial a new needle and jet combination
in and to record gph flow rates for various engine speeds. The engine is
not running up to Simonini specs, which I believe are very optimistic. But
it is running to the specs published by the North American supplier,
Speedwing Aircraft. At 5,500 rpm the Victor 1+ will cruise at 2.25 gph and
below 5,400 rpm it will cruise at 2.0 gph or less.
The nice thing about this new jet and needle combination is that there are
no hot spots across the rpm range.
Looks like it is going to be another nice day for flying. Off to get
another data point.

Living just two miles from the airport really helps. Flew today for a
little over a half hour at 5,400 rpm, 52 mph gps, with an average fuel burn
of 1.91 gph. It actually is doing a little better than this, as the fuel is
measured in the hangar. So fuel used to taxi out, warm up, take off and
taxi back in is included in the total, while the time is kept from lift off
to touch down.
It is great to be able to fly without gloves and LLBean. I still wear a
neck sock, vest and a heavy zipper sweat shirt. It is fun to be up with the
hawks.
