Title: Tri Eagle progress 11/5/2013
Post by: bill utt on November 06, 2013, 04:26:31 AM
yesterday I set out at 7;30 in the morning, making the 115 mile ride to start taking care of the details that need completed before the inspection. Did not particularly enjoy the ride but once there and working, was good. The punch list is about thirty small items,not bad, just time consuming. One of them though is, I missed my guess on the gear strut springs. So, removed them and now are back at the home shop to redo. The back up ignition system that I have been developing is working very well and hope to start making it available in the early to middle part of next year. It is a solid state "add on" that will work with any auto distributor,with no mods to the dist.. Looks as though it will also work on the Jab's that have trouble starting in cold climates due to slow cranking. That's all for now, Bill

No Steve,being real careful about letting it lift off. Exciting though, this thing gets light real quick once the rpm's hit 3100+ Over Thanksgiving taxied down and back, about 6000 ft" worth of rolling. No such thing as a fast taxi with this thing having minimum fuel and my butt in it. I need to reprogram myself and get over here to this site more. Still trying to learn how to move around here. You guys are great. Bill
