Default RE: Chip Hyde's Vision 3D

Just ran in my engine and did my range check. She started very easily and seemed to run great. This is my first DA, so I'm not sure what to expect.

I'm getting ab out 7150 rpm's on the top end, which I think is great for the first tank.

My idle is set at about 1900-2000, and I have an "idle-down" set on a switch for landing... which brings it down to about 1500-1600 rpms. It runs pretty rough right now at the idle-down, which is to be expected. I wouldn't want to leave it at that rpm for very long... just for final approach and landing.

Do those rpms sound about right to you guys? I'm at about 700ft above sea level.

Thx,

Tom
