REFLECTOR: sparrow strainer (old post)

[Tom Martino]

Given what Ronnie just posted, would it be wise to try a flight without
it ... if the Velocity 173 RG ... has an IO-540?

HI Steve,

Yes, I had been confused about this because the sketch in the manual can
be
interpreted both ways. Then I recalled your description from an earlier
note.  Then when I tried to explain it to Jim White, it didn't make
sense.

Then I verified how the strainer was supposed to be installed when I was
at
the factory for training back in December.  Sure nuff, yours is
backwards
from the factory.  So installed mine like the factory - after my first
flight.  And it caused the nose to require less up trim, so much so that
I
don't quite have enough down trim when I am flying by myself and in a
power
on descent which is higher speed than cruise. But it works great when I
have
a passenger.

Going to Oshkosh this year?
Ronnie
