Flight test to check CHT cooling. Take off roll was longer with 26 gallons of fuel. Delta's are much better. 4 is coolest, 2 is hottest.
The in air compass calibration failed. It's appearing that the remote magnetometer may need to be installed.
At 105 knots there's a slight squeal coming from somewhere.
The OAT at 8000' was 63F. There's plenty of air blowing on my legs, probably coming from the cracks around the canard.
Fuel pressure dropped to zero at 53 minutes into testing so aborted testing and returned to T67. While returning, the pressure then began reading high after it read zero for a period. Engine was still running fine, temps good. As I neared Copeland 4T2, I opened the throttle and the engine ran at 2700 RPM.
The factors before the fuel pressure dropping is I was trimming for 70 KIAS @ 8000'. I wasn't getting a canard bob at DA 10000.
The GoPro fell to the back seat floor again when turning down wind. It makes a loud bang. The Velcro needs some help or maybe some composite structure to grip the base.
Less than spectacular landing at T67. Did a low pass, touch and go and then landed a little fast. There was a crosswind and it was hot.
Need to remove the cowls, inspect for oil leaks, inspect fuel pressure sensor & wires. Clean fuel filter, check oil. Been using 1 qt/4 hours.
