| Brief Description: |
2nd taxi tests |
|
|
Adjusted the idle speed to 1,000rpm. Plugged in the headset and tested the radio - Sheryl advised that my calls were very clear from all around the field (she listened on the handheld). Did a quick fast taxi on runway 23 and the revs settled at 2,650rpm - that should be exactly right - which means I set the prop pitch correctly. Brakes all worked well. Engine is running slightly roughly now. Left mag only sees a 120rpm drop (should be a max drop of 100rpm) and Right mag only sees a large 200rpm drop. This will be the next chellenge ... Fitted the stick travel stop but the rubber construction didn't work. Will work on version two now. |
