Way to go, David. It just keeps getting better all the time.
I'm moving my fuselage to the airport tomorrow. I hope to join the graduating class of 2012.

David,
Congratulations on the first flight. It takes a lot of work to get there
but you will find it worth it!

Short flight, seasoned fighter/experimental RV8 builder test pilot, twice
around the patch, 5950 RPM, coolant went to 220F on climb out, oil was at
210F, 78F OAT, temps climbed a little higher, powered back & setup for
landing. This is an RV6A Rotary, five years in the making, 13B Bruce T.
aircraft modified eng., 2.17 RWS drive, EC2, EM2, Ivoprop Magnum 65-105 deg.
elect. in-flight adjust., Hushpower res./muffler, intake similar to Tracy's
RV4 before the Ren. eng., my own Dynamic chamber, 3" throttle body. I do
currently have a 180F therm. installed, might try removing to look for lower
temp. #s, Then louvers in bottom of lower cowl, need more flight tests, cowl
& coolers & inlets are very similar to Ed Anderson's RV6A Rotary, thanks Ed,
