Back to PA

I'm back!

East side this time.

I've got a contract in Williamsport putting fuel injection on aircraft engines

Should be interesting, they still run leaded gas in planes, so no O2 sensors!
Exhaust gas temp sensors instead.

Picking up the new rental car tomorrow.
I wonder what I'll get this time!

Welcome to PA. You picked a warm winter (so far) to come back east.

Welcome to northcentral Pa. Williamsport is only 50 miles south of here.

Hi Brian, Welcome to North Central Pa. How long will you be staying? We bought a business in Williamsport last year. Let me know if we can help with anything. Check out jeffersonsquare.com for a nice place to stay. Ken

Just checked into the hotel.

Should be a while.

I've got to see it into production.

I got you #, thanks for PM'ing me.

We should do lunch when I get settled.

Piper?

That's one of the planes they put them on.

Lycoming's eight-cylinder IO-720 series engines produce 400 horsepower at 2,650 RPM. These 720 cubic inch, fuel-injected engines have been the driving force of the high-performance Comanche "400" and of agricultural workhorses like the Brave and the Ipanema.

They also make the only FAA certified piston helicopter engines.

Turns out one of the guys I'm working with has an '84

And there's two other guys at the plant that own Corvettes.

Get time taking the tour. A dozen dynos all going at the same time.

Nice town, kinda like going back in time to the 1950's

The current fuel injection is constant flow. We'll be upgrading it to EFI.
I can't say who's doing the redundant controller, but it's a major player in the world of car racing.

Brian, are you going to bring your car to Williamsport? There are a couple of interesting races close by. One is a hill climb. I will send you the links if you are interested. Ken

A hillclimb? That would be

It's back in MA for now.
Going to wait until the good weather to bring it out here.
