I'll be flying out of Greenwood (GRD) It is a Unicom field with a 5000'X100'
runway. It also has a closed crossing runway that could be used if needed.
One thing that I forgot to mention is how smooth the rotary is. At least
above about 2500 it is smooth. Below 2500 at an idle. It runs a little
rough.

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

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.
