I'll be flying out of Greenwood (GRD) It is a Unicom field with a 5000'X100'
runway.  It also has a closed crossing runway that could be used if needed.

One thing that I forgot to mention is how smooth the rotary is.  At least
above about 2500 it is smooth.  Below 2500 at an idle.  It runs a little
rough.

Looks great, Steve.  Sounds like everything is nominal on the cooling and
running without fuel {:>) Only if!
Which airport will get the honors?
