Hi Mike !
Congratulations again !
You must have one exceptional O-320 if the 74 x 47 Prince
is too fine !!! Before changing toooo much, you might want
to borrow an optical tach - they're only about $50 if you decide
to buy one - and check the rpm against your tach ....
As for the static - good luck ! I've given up trying for
a good position - just cut the static lines off inside the cockpit !
Never had a Rebel that gave accurate ASI with external static
ports - tried lots of positions & configurations - flush, raised,
sheltered ... maybe a horizontal probe from the vertical fin,
like gliders use, might work .... ;-) It's just not that
important - unless you're planning IFR...
( Incredibly Freaking Risky ..... as opposed to just
Very Freaking Risky ! ;-) )
I stole that definition from John G. - blame him for that ! :-)

Thanks Drew,
Yes, I was thinking that I should get the news out before this. You know
what thought did. To me, it won't really be done until the 25 hours are
signed off. With weather and schedules, the hours are not going as fast as
I would like, but progress is being made. As Drew mentioned, the Prince 74
X 47 prop may be too fine, but it sure does climb! I also believe the ASI
is reading too high, but haven't had a calm enough day to calibrate it
accurately. I got static ports that are not flush mounted and I think that
is the problem.
I have not been a big contributor over the years, but I have learn a lot
by reading the digest. Thanks everyone, for contributing to a successful
lift-off. I am definitely smiling.
Sincerely, Mike. :-)

Mike Ash must be feeling shy so I'll report that on april 24 I had the
honour of watching C-FBNO on it's first flight. All went as planned with
good cooling and hands off rigging. Afterwards one small oil leak was
found
and repaired and the prop might be too fine but Mike And Kathy are one
very
happy couple. There's a picture in the completed section.
