Constant Speed (hartzell) prop
Hi all, thank you.
1. Yes I have the AFP install manual and have been studying it.
How do I say this; it is a matter of mentor vs master type of desire here. Yes I think I can adjust this. But in all psychology of things, confidence being just one, for me in all things new here and time is of essence too, everything is way better if I could have a teacher here.
2. I haven't done first flight yet. So injector balancing is in the future via flying over to AFP home, but thank you for that! I WILL make a visit there for their services! Thank you! I want this thing producing the power it should for first flight. But again, at this point in time, for first flight prep, I want someone else by my side teaching and guiding me. Besides this is a two person job anyways.
3. Defining the running RICH bit.....humm, I am not sure how to answer that. Again, why I want to PAY someone to come here and teach. If any one of you want to make some money....come on. But, in attempt to explain this question, the day I ran it the ambient temps where in the 90's, a fairly low humidity day. At the time of the Full Throttle Test, a 15 second test during the 15 minute test at 1500rpm, but at this Full Throttle timing, the CHT's were at average 325, AND it clearly did not like Mixture at Full Rich.....black smoke was biggest indicator, slight roughness. Basically in all my taxiing of this 15 minute test period with rpm at 1500, even especially at idle, it was NOT HAPPY at all at full mixture rich. I even flooded it two times trying to start it due to advancing to full rich.
Hope this helps.
I really want some one onsite. I will pay for it!!!!! Please.
