Sheesh guys Ms. Dixie update1 post grew to 2600 views so lets start over ok?
Went to LUL this morning at 5:30am to beat the heat. After last sundays first test flight to work on the 2 Major in-flight problems. 1. was RPM's on the EIS. Sure enough the "tach R/PR" was factory set at 0 and is supposed to be set at 1 for the 912 4cyl. That would explain Charleys 85 mph indacated air speed at 1400 rpm LOL. Second was why the AIS was sitting on 60 mph after we got back to the hangar and full stop. After she cooled off the ASI dropped to zero?????? Well found out what was causing that today.... When I got to the Hangar this morning the ASI was reading 60 mph! Who had been flying our airplane? after i pulled the nose cone i found the static port line to the static circut had been kinked and collapsed due to the heat and the thinwall of the tubing as a result of not enough radius. DOPE!
What a first test flight to lose RPM and ASI!!!
My only credit has to go to Charley!
Damn good seat of the pants flying!
