Explorer operation (2006-08-27)

After changing the carb it was time for short test drive to see if it's any better than the old one.

 
First impression that throttle response is much better now. There is no hesitation at all, response is immediate. Also idle rpms are much lower that "old" carb (which is actually newer with automatic choke etc.). Actually i had to lengthen throttle cable setting to bring rpm low enough for no cushion operation.

 
For some reason i still have difficulties taking the craft too far from hoverport so did a short run and test passes not too far from hoverport and support crew.

 
Everything worked fine, but more tests are needed problem is finding time for those tests.
