Ja jis mense
I see that the Gans is not going to place any pics or material of value so Ill have to do so.
Some feedback;
we had a whale of a time to balance the carbs there was 80 degrees diffrence between the two outlets. I then took to the net and found some info on the carbs. Armed with this info I went back to the field and stated setting. Sucsess :!: there was now 3 degrees difference between the egt`s on idle and about 30 degrees c at 5000 rpm. I think this is acceptable. We put a fancy sync machine (vacuum) on and it was spot on :!: (^^)
The power is awsome vhpy vhpy vhpy the Ivo vp prop is also working and now the only bit left is the cowl that needs a coat of paint.

Hou die spot dop ($$) ($$) ($$)
