Brief Description:  pipes are on and I lit em up

So The pipe clamps are on and working well. started the engine up, ran it and shut it down about 5 times. The oil vent tube will be cut shorter after the cowls go on as I want to make sure I'm not spewing oil inside the cowl. Looks a bit funny but eh...whatever.
Now in other news, all cylinders were firing well but Mr. 4 cylinder was running significantly lower CHT's than the others. I tried swapping plugs and injectors with no change. At this point I'm wondering what else could it be? not enough spark? I guess I could check the plug wires but switching coils doesn't even change it. Might just need to go fly it and see how the temps come up. The new EGT sensor is working well :) and I notived that UL Power has yet again changed injectors. What's up UL?? Looking at the exhaust pipes it does appear that Cyl 4 is running a bit leaner, but not sure what could be causing it. oh well, we'll fly her and see what happens.
The bad news today is that Catto's 3rd prop is actually the worst yet. only 2010 rpm static! Terrible. I called Catto and Nicole told me that they are seeing several UL Engines put out less power than advertised which is a real sad story and makes hell for them trying to build props. I don't blame em. They are discussing what the next step is going to be, but I Really hope they don't just tell me to take a hike. This prop isn't safe to run. Back to the ol Silver bullet I guess.
