Congratulations Bernie!
Every time somebody gets one flying it motivates me to keep
going down the rotary path, and whenever somebody gets
a homebuilt flying, period, it's just the coolest thing
by any means. Well done!
Congratulations, Bernie....now the fun begins !!! You have a beautiful
RV.
You will be a real asset to the rotary movement when your RV shows up at
flyins and the cowl comes off. Paul Conner

Subject: [FlyRotary] Another rotary airplane now flying
RV9A made a short circuit around the patch to day. Tom Hahn flew it
since
I had not realized that I needed a CFI endorsement for my insurance to
activate. He has flown most of the local RV's on first flight. He had
run
the airplane at high power 3 times the length of the field (4000 feet of
soft turf) and the coolant temp was very hot when he took off. Oil temps
were good.
He saw an indicated coolant temp of 249, but no coolant appeared to blow
out of the system. Talked to Tracy and he said there were 2 different
sensors and maybe I was cal'd wrong. We checked it and the cal was
correct. It did not seem that hot when we taxied in and snatched the top
cowl off.
Scratching head on next step, but the airplane flew great!
Bernie
