 |
|
N40SH (A143) received its airworthiness cerificate yesterday from the Scottsdale FSDO. It passed easily after loosening up the alierons a bit. What was more satisifying however was passing the Kim Prout inspection after that. It was easily three times more detailed than the government inspection. Kim found a couple of detail items. Other than that she's ready to go!
Engine runups and taxi tests in the mid day AZ triple digits revealed an effective cooling setup. As expected, static runs produced high indicated temperatures. However running at low taxi-speeds resulted in an immediate and solid 10 degree reduction in cylinder head temperature. It is the expectation that this follows through in the upper speed range also. The plane has some Dave and Terry cooling mods as well as several of my own.
First flights will occurr when arrangements are made with Bob Lindsay.

Congratulations Steve!
It's fun to build but more fun by far to fly. I've got just 20hr so far but haven't lost that Europa grin each and every time I fly.
Have fun, and say hi to Bob for me. You couldn't have a better test pilot.
