noticably smoother on just the left mag, and everything's
smooth on both mags. In flight #3 CHT runs 50 degF hotter than
the rest, as well...

Citabria 7ECA Exhaust Wanted by
Capt. Dave
Hi
Citabria with a Lycoming 0-235, Homebuilt. I need an exhaust system similar
to an RV4's including heat muffs. I don't know if an 0-320 has the same
exhaust as an 0-235. Apparently the crossover option is a must for
horsepower, and the intake tubes and carb location are different than...

'Room Temperature' by
Anthony
That's a valid point and room temp beer in the UK often is fresh from the
cellar where temps are certainly lower. I didn't think a still Lucas joke
would stir things up so much, I expected the Canadian hockey joke would have
gotten more attention. ;o)
