After switching from the front starter kit to the Aerolite rear system we flew from Louisville Ky to spend the night with Bill Clapp then on to Englewood Fl. The flight was great.
Here are the #'s
Voltage was 14 volts steady
Oil pressure was steady 40 lbs
Cht's were 125-130 steady and 200-225 climb
Egt 1050 steady
Oil temp 60 degrees OAT were 255 before the cooler and 190-200 after cooler (with my new fiberglass baffles installed but had some air loss so should see 10 degree drop after sealing.)
Here are some youtube links

Enjoyed the videos and specs during flight. I made my flight from West Palm Beach to NC so was about the same distance. How long did you take to complete the trip? The Corvair sounded great, even if it wasn't my friend William's. I noticed that your tach read 2700? Since I flew pretty much at the same tach setting, I was wondering at what speed you were generally flying?

We had a 20 knot head wind the whole way but at 2700 we average 132 to 135 MPH prop pitch at 10.5 degrees and timing set at 28 degrees points and 30 degrees electronic we flew for about 6.5 hours but some of the flight was at 2500 rpm's to let the oil cool from the long climb at gross (wanted to play it safe with the new engine). As you know the rear starter is new but we now have over 200 combined hrs on it on 3 different aircraft 1 of which is Bill Clapps KR with almost 100 hrs on it so I still had a bit of a pucker factor for the first leg of the flight but wanted as much distance from the ground as I could get and 7500 is where we cruised. The last leg of the flight was at 2500 and if I did it again today I would have no problem flying at 1500 to have more fun.
