Chinook+2 ENGINE TEST

I use some rather old fuel to test the 582 engine on the Chinook+2. This video shows how I went about it. Plane tied to a distant fence post. A temporary fuel tank is used, as the main tanks are in the wings.
Used this opportunity to test electrical output to be sure battery is charging correctly. Engine has 25 hours on it since I replaced a front bearing on the crankshaft and installed new piston rings. See previous videos.

53º F? What was at 53º F?

The air temperature. Cool air is more dense, and the prop has more "bite". Engine puts out a bit more power. Performance will vary a bit with conditions. You get great lift in cool air, too.
