Looks great, Steve.  Sounds like everything is nominal on the cooling and
running without fuel {:>) Only if!
Which airport will get the honors?

 SNIP

I have a pretty good sized furnace fan that I'm going to put in front of
the
scoop a few feet, and see if I can cool it sufficiently to do some higher
RPM tuning.  It is running really good up to 3500, which is as far as I
have
tuned it so far.  above 3500, it feels like it's going to leap off of the
ground.  I did have it to 4000 a couple of times, but I thing that I had
better do that tuning at the airport, where I have more room to get it
stopped in case the brakes don't hold it back.

Attached are some photos from today.
