Check flights today on the 100hp 912ULS Classic install... Nothing short of a
total success...
First flights this morning and with my innate skepticism was expecting the
entire unit to go "BANG!!!"; but it did not... instead it purred this way, and
then it purred that way for about 30 minutes... then i brought it in a little
clumsily due to the need to relearn new alternate engine speeds... a good
visual scrutiny revealed not one thing requiring attention; so a cup of tea was
created and consumed before going up again for an hour, and it certainly got up
off the deck and climbed straight through the normal 80hp flat moment of excess
undercarriage flaps drag; the aircraft actually just got out in front of me to
the point i was saying "i better retract the undercarriage now before i hit
80kt; like right now!"... Take offs are a bit more exciting at the moment as i
get accustomed to the new amount of swing as the tail gets up, or blipping of
the throttle on rounding out.
This has been a direct swap, retaining 80hp starter motor, exhaust, cooling...
the only change has been raising the lower lip of the bottom cowl 1" away from
the fuselage. Running temps at cruise so far are 90C/100C, and 80/80 on
approach decent... The prop needs repitching due to ratio changes of the 100hp
reduction drive.
181 will never be having an 80hp unit reinstalled... more flying tomorrow...
