 Hi Kingsley,



 I'd say about 2 to 3 seconds. We do not bang the throttle, but rather 

 advance it steadily in 2 seconds.

 Takeoff takes place in about 10 seconds.




	


Kingsley,

Update on this subject : flew 2h45 yesterday. Timed the boost gauge : no 

lag whatsoever, the MP reaches the red line at the same time the 

throttle lever reaches the stop.

During that time the airplane runs about 30-50 ft.



FWIW,

Best regards,

Many thanks once again Gilles. 



Mine is nothing like yours. As I said a little while back, I'm letting sleeping dogs lie at the moment. I'm certainly getting plenty of power on take-off so I don't think it is worth stressing over. 



When I found the blocked up filter in the line to the sensor, I jumped to the conclusion that the "problem" was solved and now I can't be sure if I checked the actual hose well enough. 



The new filter I fitted was a bit agricultural so when I get to fitting a better one that I have now purchased, I will do a more thorough check of the line itself. 



Thanks again for your most appreciated follow up. 



Hope your recent flying was done in more pleasurable conditions than we are experiencing over here at the moment.  Stinking hot here, rough as bags and dreadful smoke haze with minimum visibility takes away all the pleasure.



Cheers

Kingsley
