Hello all,
Flew it today ! No wind, blue sky and about 0 degrees celcius.
Needed some right rudder but was able to tweak the rudder trailing edge by hand enouph to make it right for the second flight. I used a small oil cooler and have it 1/2 blocked and got 175 deg. oil temp.
The aileron feel is VERY nice, elevator is heavier and rudder feels normal.
No wheel pants becuase of snow on the runway but indicating 175mph @2500rpm (Catto 76" pitch).
Have bad static/crackle in the radio with the engine running. Headset volume will raise or lower the crackle volume while the radio volume doesn't(Microair M760), boost pump, alternator(SD-8) on/off, varying rpm makes no difference. I've posted in the COMM section of the forum but if anyone has seen this before please let me know.
Really a nice handling airplane and probably one of the easiest taildraggers to land.
Thanks to Randy, Rob H, Tony and Fred for their websites.
Mike
