Joe,
No... I don't have the 40 hours flown off yet. I had a couple of issues
with Controller / Tachometer that I had to resolve, and trips to SC have
been severely limed due to working a full time job, and also building a
house at the same time.
I did have a good flight about 3 weeks ago when I went down there. Only
flew about 1.5 hours, but no issues. Total now is just over 31 hours, so
it's getting closer. Problem is right now, I don't even have another trip
there on the calendar. Just got back from a cruise that the wife and I
scheduled almost a year ago, so the house isn't making very good progress
either.
I still read most (some) of the FlyRotary emails, but I haven't had the time
to be very chatty. Not only that, but when I get started thinking about the
plane, the house building suffers.
Good luck with the neighbors. Maybe you could tell them that it is a salad
shooter.
Regards,
Steve Brooks (31 hours and still haven't fried my stock turbo...John)

Joe,
I saw the other day that you got you engine running,
but didn't take time to congratulate you.
Hey Steve - Good to hear from you! Did you get your 40hrs flown off
and move your plane back down/up to SC/NC (can't keep my Carolina's
straight!)?
I ran mine without a prop too initially. I will tell
you, don't bother trying to do any tuning without the
prop. You'll be wasting your time. Ask me how I know
this.

As much as I'm afraid of it - I'll be mounting it tomorrow (probably)
- and figuring out how to keep the plane from going anywhere!
