Subj: Re: [rebel-builders] Re: Inspection
The test flight went pretty well, not as great as I would have liked
with a
couple of problems. It was a very hot and humid day (great to test the
limits) and unfortunately I did have a water over heating problem. Oil
and
CHT were fine. We have a couple of easy things to do which should
solve
that issue. Also two things with the prop - I have it pitched too
course and
we didn't get full RPM - I had pitched it to get 5200 RPM on the
ground,
thinking that when in motion it would raise the RPM up to the 5800 max
but
we found that we really only got about 5350 so I need to re-pitch, but
the
bigger issue is that on inspection after the flight Bob found a small
"bite"
out of the trailing side of one prop blades with what looks like a
little
de-lamination. I don't want to jump to conclusions until I get it off
and
send it to Warp but it will be a few days to get a new one so we can
continue the test flying.
Other than that - "Rebel 333 Did Fly Yesterday!!!!"

Thanks Ron, I will be happy to share once I have my first few
(there willunder
my belt to make sure the cooling works and everything is fine.
that thebe
something) I'm only waiting for the flight authority from Jamie
Alexander
who said "he would try and get to it this week"????
It's my understanding that in all other jurisdictions in Canada
authorityinspector that signs off on your final will give you the flight
wrong)right then and there - not so in Ontario.(please correct me if I'm
me outThe paperwork has to go to the BOSS to check (why should that keep
missing aof
the air??) before he issues the flight authority. This is very
frustrating
especially after all the work to get it this far and of course
