				Howdy all
 Could never get my 912ul to run for balancing with the crossover tube
 removed. All I had to do is increase rpm Duh!
 It always runs great full throttle but they were off by 5 tics of what ever
 the gage sold by Lockwood uses for display. Now runs good and idles well.
 I was pitched 5450 rpm before. Now wot is as low as 5000. Rarely higher than 5250 - 5300. Of course some of the variance is thermal related.
 Here's the weired part If I pull up hard I can always get 5350.
 Take off is mind blowing. In the air the last 1/4 throttle doesn't seem to change rpm. Well that may be true on TO but I don't have time to think about checking it.
 
 Anyone got a clue? I surely don't. :
