Any headaches?  Haven't you read my last few posts?  : )
 
Mounted the prop and did a run-up (outside) between rain showers today.  Yes, Renesis definitely quieter.  And much cooler too!  I thought my EGT probes were broken.  Didn't get the RPM higher than about 4300 but EGT never got over 1325 F.  That's way cool for a rotary!

AND, Mazda should have thought of the Renisis sooner!
