Buly,
Yes, that was my first X-country flight in it.  Couldn't have gone any
better, other than I'd still like to have my temps about 10 degrees less.
For upper 60's I would have like to seen about 170 degrees instead of 180,
but that gives me something to work on.

Steve

Steve glad to hear you made to move to SC without any problems. I guess that
was your first long X-country? Enjoy it.
