2nd tank carb setting was not really tuned in, but we did tach it and it read 7400 rpm and that was with the 22x8 prop you sent to me.
and the 3rd tank carb almost tuned in engine ran the whole tank 24 0z. for 18 minutes and at full throttle tach read 7500 rpm with the 22x8 prop, tepmerature out there in the hot sun was hitting 90. All in all we are really pleased with the performance. some minor adjustment to be made and we can do it again.
Hi George
With what you posted it sounds like you are ready for a maiden, So good luck with that.
PS double check your balance, just a thought
