No problem. I hope it's enough detail to get you going! I wired up the new 4" today and tested it. Much better than the 3" and still lower amperage.

If you need more pics, details or anything let me know!

Awesome Josh! Thank you for taking the time to write this up! I can't wait to make one of these up and give it a shot.

What's your next project Josh?

Great question...I'm not 100% sure. I spent today with a AI that specializes on the A36 and we were discussing cooling during climb vs cruise. We may play with designing cowl flaps and start testing various temps during climb.

We both believe the Turbo would benefit greatly from 90-110sq in at climb and 50-70 during cruise. I made a manual setup today and will test tomorrow at 70 sq and compare to the previous 50. I have to pull the cowl to change the setting though. If it works well, I'll expand to a total range of 50-110 with controls in the cockpit.

Have any ideas yourself? I'd be happy to start exploring. :).
