May be
just over 100 miles. Not really sure....but pretty
close.

Chris,
That's ok, I'm still wearing the rotary grin. To date I haven't
ventured far from the home base. I've had two problems so far... 1)
mis-fire at 6500 & higher, caused by using ferrous metal to fabricat
a CAS bracket. Corrected by fabricating a new bracket out of
aluminum, and 2) high oil temps.. the jury is still out on this
one. It appears that I need more cowl exit area. Stay tuned.
I'm still working on this one.
So, how far is Ellington from Lockhart? I'm on a 100 mile leash for
the first 40.

So, do ya think you can
get the Feds to extend you test range to EFD (Ellington Field) in
Houston???? Purley for safety of all involved so I can get a gander
at that sweet 20b...oh, I hear the ES is a nice plane too.
OK, maybe not now, but
when the 40 is flown off, I will have an adult bevrage waiting in my
hangar.
Congrats.
All the
best,
Chris

Rusty,
Thanks, I'll wear my "I love flying my rotary powered airplane"
button with pride. We're in a pretty small club when you stop and
think about it. I can hardly wait for next month's EAA meeting so
I can give a report on my first flight.

Yes, I flew my Lancair ES - 20B today and she flies
beautifully!
That's awesome
Mark! That's going to be a sweet flying plane for sure
:-)
BTW, I'd like to offer
an additional congratulations for the restraint you seem to show
towards the first flight. Perfect conditions, and nothing beyond
what you originally planned. Keep that up, combined with the
great job you've done on the build, and you'll have a safe and
productive test period.
Well
done!
Rusty
