Morning Gang:
Talked to Travis yesterday about 1300. Said they were all set up and
ready for Sun and Fun to start this morning.
I plan to depart Gantt International Airport in the morning, arriving
Lakeland after 1730 EST, when the air show is over.
MKIII went back together good. Center section fit like a glove.
Still have to calibrate the tach using the prop tach. I bought a
little RC prop tach a few years ago for about $25.00 that works good
for this job.
Will mechanically sychronize the carbs.
By that time, I will have enough time on the engine to know if
everything is ok to fly.
Got a ton of dirt, dust, and pollen to wash off the old bird. Then I
will be ready to load it and head out for Lakeland in the morning.

Hi John,
When you say mechanically sync the carbs you mean only with the .004 feeler gage?
That just gives you are starting point on each carb to continue the pneumatic part of the sync process. When you run your engine up to cruise speed the carbs will try and run each bank of cylinders at different rpms. Even with the cross over tube that tries to help equalize each side it only helps, but won't make them equal. Not good for the engine to have one side trying to run at 5000 rpm and the other at 5050 rpm or worse. Why not take an extra 30 min. and set the sync during a run? Especially since you are flying long hours for this flight.
