really? 800 eh
the katherines has 2, 16 645's and I swore they ran 900. might have something to do with being marine motors.
anyway have fun in fl.
I'm in south central Ga... course I'm beached with pnuemonia, but I'm still willing to wrench in need.

Thanks Drew.. It's always nice to know where there's help available!

I just recently read a tech manual from EMD about the 16-567's that I run.. Max RPM is 808..

Sorry Gary, I thought you left already. Yea, that 800 is out of a two stroke though, so it sounds the same as 1600. LOL.

i disagree about that.
I fly about every 2weeks of my life and rarely run into problems.
just don't carry stupid stuff in the carry on.

run the 7.3 like an emd? what 900rpms? would be more fuel efficient.

No you don't run it like an EMD. You drive it like an EMD.:D Other words. In run 8.LOL Hold the throttle and hang on.

Sam says it's still raining sideways where she's at, but she's still set on picking me up at the airport at 11. Weather underground is saying that the rain's gonna let up some, before I get there. I know there's still all the rain that's already fallen laying around.. I may have to break out the oars! I sure hope my plane's amphibious! :eek:

The good thing-- there is always a good thing--is that all the oils have washed off the roads, so you shouldn't have to worry about wheelspin on take-off.

Enjoy!

Some of the roads are under three feet of water, according to Sam... I'll probably be lucky to even see any asphalt!:peelout

Airport security was a breeze! I showed up early for nothing!

I did get checked out good, but it was a painless process..

Now I only have to wait another two hours for my flight!

Security is really poor! They even ignored the warning I sent with your description.

Have a good trip.
