For those of you who own an AMD built XL that live in Idaho and/or Oregon, I can recommend a good mechanic.<br />
Contact me for his name.<br />

It sure felt great flying my bird that many of you helped me build.<br />
Today, we re-pitched the prop so it will turn up to 3300 rpm. It would only turn up to 2350 when I flew the other day.<br />
What surprised me, most of all, that the temperatures seem to stay within boundaries.<br />
Also, the carb linkage was adjusted so the engine won't die when I pull the throttle back too far on my next landing.<br />
BTW, does the two or three bounces count as two or three landings?<br />
102 degrees kept me on the ground…
