I went up in RV 12 that has been sitting in Florida for a few months (Its a long story).
Removed 2 l/2 tubes of water from sump and then tried to fly.
But she sputtered so we aborted the flight. (me and CFI Rhonda Colburn-a wonderful person and CFI).
So I did another drain underneath at the sump.
We went up with nose up and she balked. Would not get to more than 4400.
I and she heard a 'bang'.
I gave her the plane and she got us back on the ground.
We noticed that when nose is down she shoots to 5500. We did 5500 on final.
When nose pushed up, then sputters and gets down into the 4400's.
Once on the ground I did another fuel check and found nasty brown stuff (NOT much) on the bottom of the tube.
I have 2 a and p men working on it Saturday.
What do you think?
