Let me just say you have over done yourself here. To even include cool down sounds is just amazing. I would have NEVER thought if get that. Simply amazing.

Ok to business. Finally getting familiar with this plane do far 5 hours with about 15 startups and flights. First time I really followed the complete checklist provided. So doing the supercharger check I selected from auto to low. No change Obvioisly. Went from low to high had no drop in rom but a raise in mp. This was completed at 2000rpm which equaled around 20". When at high it raised to 22-23" still no drop in rpm. I know the manual says drop in rpm. This is my second install with the update.

Also about the provided checklist is the elevator trim setting down or up. Not said but assumed down.

Lastly isn't there a sound for the primer? Most that I have operated have a rather loud motor noise.

Crank it up to 2300rpm, and then switch blower to HIGH, there should be a ~50 rpm drop... it's not much, so you have to look closely :)

Moonbeam's electric primer was inaudible.
