Well, after 3 months work, radios and a lot of minor clean up and mods I finally flew the Skybolt again. Everything went well except for one issue. Upon landing the engine quite at idle when rolling onto the taxiway. The engine started right up or at least as well as can be expected for a hot injected engine. I was not able to duplicate the stoppage again while on the ground. The aircraft sportâs a three blade composite fixed pitch climb prop and the RPM at Idle is about 700. I looked into the Lycoming information manual to see what the recommended RPM is and to my surprise it is an airframe issue. So, any suggestions? What idle RPM are other using with a light composite prop?
