“FIFI”… We shut down and proceeded to remove the prop dome to make the adjustment. About an hour later, we were ready to start again. With John at the controls, we increased power slowly while taking all the temp. and press. readings. When we reached take off power, we hit the numbers just as it was originally predicted! We are making 2000 HP at 2400 rpm with 44” of MAP. My sincere thanks to all that came out and those that have been involved from the beginning. As much as it sounds like we are done with the #3 engine, nothing could be further from the truth. Since the run, we had to remove the cowling, exhaust and prop to finish work on the cowling and exhaust. We also had to remove the carburetor and send it back to the vendor for some minor adjustments that they can only make on a flow bench. As I’m writing this, the cowling is back on, the prop will go back on this week and the Rt. wing section that has been off the airplane for 1& 1/2 years will be here Tuesday morning. A lot to do but we’ll have it back together for AirSho and continue working in preparation for the next engine. How Can You Help? How to make a financial contribution to “FIFI”! This is a question that gets asked frequently, that most members do not know how to answer, however here is the answer. Option #1 Call the CAF Headquarters toll free number: 1-877-767-7175 ext. 2230, Mon-Fri. This contact is for the CAF Controller, Lindsey Pena. Lindsey can take your credit card contribution, or explain how you can contribute to the B-29 project (see option #2 below). Your financial contribution goes directly to “FIFI”, again, your financial contribution goes directly to her. Option #2: Write and send a check payable to the Commemorative Air Force and please write the aircraft FAA registration number in the “note area” i.e.: For the B-29 “FIFI” write N-529B. Mail to: Commemorative Air Force P.O.Box 62000 Midland, Tx. 79711-2000 8
