Got back today from Charlie & Tupper's Fly-in at Outer Slobovia.  Always a treat.  Had big head-winds on way up but got paid back with an equally strong tailwind on the way back.  The psychological effect of seeing 200+ cruise speeds is a kick!  First time using the oxygen system and it really makes high altitude cruising a lot nicer.   Stayed at 16,500 most of the time and felt great on arrival rather than the need for a nap like I usually feel.
 
The Renesis continues to get better all the time as it breaks in and I get the engine controller fine tuned to it.  Only glitch was the sluggish engine start after the engine cold soaked over night.  Need to switch from 15W - 50 to 10W - 30 for the winter.  Or maybe its that weenie motorcycle battery I use?  Anyway, another pleasurable 6 rotary powered hours added to the Hobbs.
