Jim,
It might be possible to get a ferry permit and get a new test area assigned,
but right now, with only 8 hours on the plane, I don't think that I want to
do a 200 mile flight.

I'm also very familiar with the area that I'm flying in now, which is one
less thing to worry about when making the test flights.  I may eventually
check into a ferry permit, if the flying goes slower than I hope it will.

Steve Brooks

Can't you get some sort of ferry permit to fly the plane up to Harnett
Co or Smithfield and get a new box there to finish off your hours?

<... 1600 RPM idle would also add to landing distance quite a bit ...>

It adds a LOT!!  It's a hell of a lot more important in that regard than it
appears.  Could really bite you hard on a long fast landing or particularly
on a rejected takeoff.

There's folks found that off the hard way ... Jim S.
