Weight and Balance for 750 Cuzer w/ Viking 130

I am getting ready for DAR and I went on the scales for the first time today. I drained the fuel in climb attitude and put it on the scales.The fuel flow test using Viking mini-header tanks was 26.5 GPH on the Pilots side, and 25.9 on the passenger side tank. Well above a safety margin over maximum takeoff flow rate.I had seen jan's post about the 750 where they replaced a IO200 with a Viking 130 with a W&B of 857. I was hoping to come in somewhere around there.Well, not so much. I have…See More

When I move from left to right, there is some slop before the torque tube will move on the roll axis?It seems like the AN3-17A bolt has play inside the C75C2-8 part.Is this normal? how do you deal with this in flight. I don't know how you fly tiny with that much slop before the pressure effects it. Does the constant tend for a "Heavy wing" cause this to always have pressure in one direction?Does anyone else notice this?ThanksJonathan…See More

What should the idle be at minimum throttle?Also the exhaust headers paint was smoking, is this a break in thing?See More

Couple of questions.. RPM, amps and ECU ground

I have not started the engine yet, I am wiring up all the electronics before I can close our my avionics bay, I have a bit more work on plumbing the gasoline, so I can't start until I do.Is there anyway to verify the RPM is wired correctly without getting the engine fully started? Will it read during cranking?How Can I tell if the ECU is on? While the ECU had a power lead, I don't find a ground lead. Is this connected directly to the pre-wired part in the engine?Also I wired the AMP shunt for…See More

Installing Dynon EFIS EMS Oil Pressure sensor

While the Viking View looked really cool, but I don't have the panel space for it so I using the DYNON EMS system on my HDX and I am trying to find out how best to install the Oil Pressure Sensor. There appears to be a Honda Oil Pressure Sensor on the Viking 130 already in the slot, but not electrically connected. I already have purchased a sensor from Dynon.Questions:1. Can the Dynon EMS read the Honda Sensor?2. If not how do I adapt the Dynon sensor to the Honda Port?…See More

When my family outgrew a Cessna P210, my mission for flying changed. I got plans for an RV-8, but built and observatory instead. I took a number of years off flying full sized airplanes and build a number of scale and aerobatic R/C aircraft, may of my own design. Now that my son is 16 I wanted to finally check off building a airplane from my bucket list.
