*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Hi to all! Bless you again, Mike Davis. Very helpful as always. I also
learned yesterday, sending attachments in jpg is the preferred way and it
also uses far less KB's, those cowl pictures were around 100 KB's in jpg.
But I also laid them out on my ZIP disk in bmp, because the scanned pictures
are far easier to crop, turn around, etc. while in bmp, although they now
take up 500 KB's. Wow.
Ok, my empty weight, Subaru 2.2 liter Legacy, 992 lbs. Relatively heavy, but
consider standard landing gear with many heavy bolts. Thanks to my sheet
metal expert, he had me beef up a lot of areas with heavier gauge aluminum,
heavy duty corners on elevators and rudder. So on and so on.
Next I was a little incomplete and incorrect in my engine RPM it is 5325 RPM
on take-off and my blades on the Warp Drive prop are set at 10 degrees. That
4900 cruise RPM seems a little high, but the oiltemp or coolant temp do not
reflect an unusual strain on the engine. People that have disassembled their
engines after some considerable hours of running have not indicated any
problems whatsoever. Add this to the story that Subaru ran five cars round
and round a track with the throttles clamped to full RPM with no problems,
to sort of put aside any worries in that department. Finally the defroster
question: if you can find a Stoddard/Hamilton Glastar in building process
somewhere near you, go look at its defroster and/or the description of the
defroster/heater valve in their manual, absolutely ingenious. It looks a
little complicated, but it isn't, I made copies of those pages and promised
myself to make one. Regards, Geert Frank
