Ed, Charlie  and The List
Sorry I didn't respond to your mail sooner.  I'm doing some  "honey due" projects in the house to "pay back" some of the time I spent building my plane!  I really want to make it to Sun and Fun but only if my Better Half also goes there.  Last fall when I went to the Rotary RoundUp I was "delighted" to see a new $3000 stove in the kitchen when I returned.  (I don't know what was wrong with the 30 year old stove we had - most of it still worked)  I got to spend a week modifying the kitchen to accommodate the stove.

As for Charlie's suggestion to fly in formation with the neighbors RV 7A with the 180 hp Lycoming and compare fuel use - I hope to do that when we have another lunch fly-out to Stephenville for barbecue.

Is anyone interested in going to or hosting a Mid-Winter Rotary fly-in?  We have two rotaries flying here in the Austin area and two or more in the Dallas area.  Probably six or eight others being built in Texas also!!  The weather can be good or bad here in the winter.  Today the high will be 68 deg. clear and no wind.

Hey! Way to go! Dennis.

 

Sounds to me you have had a good 60 hours to prove the air worthiness of your installation.   Since the Hushmaster has been good for 40 hours on my old turbo block 13B with the strongest exhaust pulses, I suspect it will last a good long time on your Renesis.

 

Great looking airframe and paint job as well.  Hope you make it to Sun & Fun!
