I have check and checked and found nothing.  I have flown it five more times and
it is doing perfect.  Everyone has good ideas and at annual in two months 
sometingt
may shop up but for now it remains a puzzle.
Thanks, 
Ken

Ken,

This sounds a lot like the problem I had coming back from Oshkosh last year. My
problem was surging while in the air and the engine seemed to always work on
the ground. My problem was a plugged static pressure sender going to the TCU 
control
circuit. Problems like this can be caused by the airbox or static pressure
sensors or a leak in anyone of those little black hoses. I pulled each off
house during troubleshooting my problem and used a small syringe to pressure
them up in some soapy water to look for pin hole leaks. My problem ended when
I pulled the static pressure sensor and found the end block with a rubber cap
the painter had put on to keep out the dist and overspray.

Just a thought for other places to look for your problem.

Subject: Europa-List: surging engine on take-off

Yesterday taking off, the engine surged as the turbo kicked in it went up to 
5700
RPM then dropped back into the 4800 range.  I tried several runs but aborted
the take-off as it continues to surge.  Checked the prop governor and it checked
out as functioning correctly.;  Took the cowl off and the turbo arm seems
to cycle correctly when the master turned on and the throttle cycled.  Tied the
plane down and ran it up to 5700 rpm.  It did not surge at all.  
Any idea?  I have not tried to fly it again yet.
