Thanks Ed, I’m really hoping for a quick launch and go= od climb performance … I won’t be at the controls, though maybe co-pilot, depending on what the Test Pilot prefers … if first pattern sees temperatures in the green then he/we will stay aloft for a few more as= you suggest. Anyway it’s about 2 weeks away … stay tuned.

Nice job, Jeff.  With that  prop and 6100 rpm, you wi= ll have a quick launch for sure.  I find that with my Rv-6A, I lack sufficient rudder authority at WOT on take off until I get up to 30-40 MPH – have to use a touch of right brake if I try it.  Slow throttle input until reaching 30-40 mph makes it a non-event.  Now you may have plenty of rudder authority, but thought I would mention it.

 

Looks like you have sufficient air inlets for cooling,  we will all be awaiting the results – play it safe.  My preference = for a first flight is to launch and get to pattern altitude (or a bit higher), = make 5-6 circuits of the pattern as I get the feel of the aircraft and then land= and check out under the cowl.  Just one viewpoint of course.
