I was lucky to be with John R. during his Houston testing. he wanted to test the engines in a hot and very humid environment..... which we have plenty of here all went great! he showed the issue to me and also the fix. it all makes perfect sense. for those waiting for the fix it should not be too much longer. the 3 test engines were flown on Ray Blair's Kingcat and made it go like stink! Alan Hoes and myself watched with amazement as John put them through every flight attitude, throttle setting, slow speed, blistering fast, etc. it was a good day! now off to Florida for John to test in another hot, humid area.
