The Murphy Builders Site

Hi guys!

Just a word to let you know I've had my engine running with the new 13lb. weight added to the flywheel.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What a difference. The engine runs alot smoother now.

Tomorrow will be the prop dial-in time.
Initially the 72" prop has been set at 14 degrees.
I was told by an engine specialist that I should re-set the carb set-up now because of the difference.

I think I remember you (Bobp :) ) saying that the aluminum props give you the best performance.
Now that I have doubled my mass on the crankshaft, I can see why. The extra weight allows the engine to run smoother thus not waisting energy shaking the plane.
I can also see this adding to the longevity of the engine life.

That's it for now.

Another report tomorrow after the flight.

Rick,

What prop are you flying with that you added the prop dampener to? It sounds
like it made quit the difference.

I'm not sure if you are talking to me or not, I've seen another Rick on this
group before.
But I'll answer you anyway.
I'm running a 72" 3 blade Warp Drive w/ nickel leading edge.
