    with a cylindre saw, i made a hole over battery location, changed battery and closed again with some tape.
    then to keep good pression on the bottom, i scewed the tiny on panel with an aluminium plate;

    rigging flaps
    hi, i rigged 3° down flap as manual said it, but a little something strange appears when i 'm going fast:
    with the same trim position:  i can get a 60mph level at 4700 rpm without touching stick, but plane become nose hvy when i go faster cruise...
    is the little 3° down flap which is pitching the plane getting more efficiency with speed? do i try to get flaps up some degres in rigging ?

    i would try it without the air filter and see the carbs when rpm change is coming

    yes..
    i wonder about the accuracy of my gauge because when i touch the outlet water tube, it seems hot enouth, will chek the outlet temp of water with an other instrument
    i wonder too if the use of inox tubes doesn't refrech water more than classic tubes 
    Today i made a short flight with rubber on less than half radiator, and the temp was going 12O F cruizing
    about egt's same question about accuracy , my plugs are brouwn like chocolate

    thx 
    i forgot to talk about water temp:
    at the warm up, i reach the 130f 
    and in flight, the temp going down to 100/110 F range , is it too low?
    i got the belly radiator, may be i need to mask it a bit

    best numbers for a 582
    hi all, 
    first i fly my new plane and still a joy, now i give my numbers:
    climb at 60mph  rpm 6400/6500 +1500ft/min    low egt
    cruise patern at 60 mph  rpm 4700/4800           low egt
    CRUISE at 80 mph rpm 5300                              low egt
    cruise 85 mph AT 5600                                       egt 1220/1230 f(max egt on rpm range)
    i didn't calculate but have very low consuption at 5300
    would it worth to go faster AT 5800/6000 ?
    thank to give your input

    solo in my avid C
    yesterday i made my first flight solo in my plane, so light! was level flight at 60 mph with 4700 rpm, under 30mph , the plane still wants to fly . and take off blocks the variometer needle up 
    i made some good landings and some bounces too, elevator autority keeps good even with idle landing but  the flaps seem to be useless, making plane heavy in controls and no easy to flare the landing without power. 
    btw it is a real joy to fly this little bird, very happy

    fixed, but i wonder why in static full throttle at 6200 i was below max temp, and in take of, i went over for few minutes..
    may be the reason was the engine did not flew for several years, will check that seriusly
    thx

    sure but it is a 2 blade wood prop i can't pitch giving 6200 static, the firstl one  was only 5000 rpm static, do i try it in air?
    btw i cheked plugs today,: they are perfect chocolate color
    about nose hvy, i forgot to say i had checked with joey file xls, the cg was at 13,4 with my "hvy" test pilot onboard  in middle range

    hi
    so i (we) made the first flight
    with a friend (instructor pilot) we made some roll tests, and then a little jump; the plane was so sweet this little jump ended to a full flight straight up in sky.
    climbing at 60 mph and 6600 rpm, full throttle, egt  quickly jumped to 1300, when on floor full throttle, they never go over 1150; after release some pwr, they gone in the 1100 1200 range.
    if some have some suggestion about that...
    stall W/O flap 35 mph, 32 with flaps. very gentle ; parachuting without brake falling tendency. the plane is a bit nose hvy even with full trim. if turbo is still there he can say something perhaps.is it not too short?
    i guess got a CG forward, but in landing i've got full control, the flap are not very needed 
    approach at 55 with 2 passengers is good,
    for now, i feel my custom wing is a good choice
