Another bit of exposure for the project from Global News BC. Thank you Jay and Cliff!
We are still working to process footage of the last few runs from Merlin 7757, but here is a bit of a teaser!
We had excess fuel in our last run of 2022 so Rob and I took the carb apart to check the float etc, and we also ordered and installed a fuel pressure regulator so we could have more control over that aspect of the system. This is our first run after that work, and we are both very pleased. Very close to the finish line now!
