Gents,

   

       The weather here has been so amazing that I can't stay out of the cockpit.  I put 3 hours on the plane Wed, 4 Thurs, and 4 today.  The engine is beginning to loosen up a bit, and cruise numbers are coming up a little.  I spent a good amount of time calibrating my airspeed indicator off of the GPS.  Here was today's test:

   

  601 HDS taildragger / 2700cc Corvair / Warp Drive set at 9.5 deg  

  T/O weight - 1100 lbs

  Altimeter - 2992

  OAT - 70 deg

  Altitude - 1000 over the Pacific

  2900 RPM

  24" MAP

  122 mph

   

       I think that when the engine gets fully worn in, I might get a little more speed - maybe 125.  I don't think I will break 130 mph cruise without considerable efforts in cleaning up the aerodynamics of the [quote][b]

Steve,

   

       Here are some pictures:

       Maybe next weekend I'll get some air to air pictures taken over the coast as well.  I joined up on one of the biplanes in the Texan today, and the customer in the front seat got some amazing pictures of me and my customer flying over the coastline with an awesome sun angle.  I can't wait to see those pictures!  I have been flying the Texan for almost 2 years now, and don't have any pictures of me flying it.  It didn't happen if there isn't photographic proof, right???

   

       I just looked in my logbook, and I have 22 hours on the Zodie in the last 10 days, and 2 in the Texan.  Damn, San Diego weather rocks!
