Flight 13, first flight below 0 centigrade

Beautiful day. This fall and so far the winter has had lousy flying weather so one have to use the opportunity when it occurs.

I have heat pads attached to the oil pan on my IO390 but I have no adapter from 110v to 240v so I have not been using it yet. Today it would have been good as the engine was difficult to start. (Around -4 centigrade on the ground)

My GoPros stopped shooting after about 10 minutes in the air.

I dialed in 23inch MP and 2100rpm, leaned just lop and got 140kt IAS at around 24l/h (6.5gph) :)

From the EFIS file: IAS 140kt, Engine power 46%, Fuelflow 6.4 gph, MAP 22.9, RPM 2110.


A video from the engine start and take off.
