Steve, what a beautiful airplane! Do you have any pictures of your install you would like to share? What kind of prop is that? What PSRU and what static rpm are you getting? You must have good cooling to be able to run at high power settings that long on the ground. What is your cooling setup? Is this a FWF from Mistral? Can you trailer the plane to another airport to get in the air?
