Thanks, Buly Yes, it took a while for me to feel comfortable making long trips. Always the knowledge that should you have an engine problem, the FBO can provide no help. I've never had the engine let me down - now, I screwed up a rebuild and ended up having to rebuild in a abandon garage in the middle of the summer in Louisiana (so I have some empathy for your hangar temps {:>)). But, that was my fault - not the engines. Great seeing you and your spouse, need to have you there with your bird next year!

Thanks for the report Ed. Wish I can make long trips like that one day? It was nice to see you again at S&F and all the rest of the rotary guys. I was surprised to see all the rotary planes and the constant activity around the rotary corner inside the engine tent. This year I can say the rotary is making visible progress compared to other engines. I'm rewiring the injectors with shielded wire and hoping this will eliminate my high rpm headset noise problem? Today inside my hangar was 96F. Summer has arrived in S. FL.

Had a great time at Sun & Fun. Was invited by Tracy and Laura to pitch my tent beside them again this year, I think mainly for the entertainment value provided. Ask Laura when you next see her about, awnings, rain, lafumas and leaking air mattress. I installed my new model EFI system monitor for the return flight home. Discovered immediately that I need to turn up the brightness of the display for full sun. Now that I have the "Snubber" fix for my EC2 provided by Tracy during my stop - over with he and Laura that my monitor and the EC2 now agree without my historic fudge- factor. The first stop I onloaded 25 gallons of fuel and the monitor showed 25.09 gallons used. So accuracy is looking good. Unfortunately leaving Louisiana on Friday, I found I had 50+ MPH tail wind. Landed to refuel in Northern Alabama, taxied back on the taxiway parallel to the runway and turned to get onto the runway. I thought - "Well, the FAA is really getting serious about runway-incursions, they have placed rumble strips across the taxi way's just before the runway." With that thought filed away, I continued to turn and align for take off. NOW I thought this is carrying it too far. Rumble strips on the taxi way is one thing - rumble strips on the runway is another. About that time the light bulb came on - I had a flat tire. Sure enough it was the nose wheel tire - flatter than a pancake. Fortunately I carry a spare tube and there was a mechanic there and I was on my way after about an hour delay. I think everyone has covered the Sun & Fun events. We ended up having 5 rotary aircraft there including Rich's newly painted RV-3 as well as Max Lassache flying his beautiful Falcair -12? So a great time and enjoyed seeing a number of you there.
