PS on today's engine run... I finally felt that I had the airplane tied down securely enough to try a full-power static runup. The tach needle was wiggling between 2200-2250 to me, so I think the firewall forward is about optimum!The EAA chapter has an optical tach and I'll be checking the mechanical tach against it, but you just can't argue with this setup for the A65. It sure is nice to hear it run.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________All-in-one security and maintenance for your PC.
