N215DW broke the surlies on Tuesday, 5/29 but I didn't tell Vans until 6/2 so I don't think I am in the 400 quoted on the website.
Everything went per the book, flew great with no bad habits. Like Carl my temps have been a little high. Cylinders 2,1, and 5 are the hottest but with care I can keep them under 420 fairly easily. Oil temps stay below 200 which is not bad since it has been hot here in TX already. It flies and handles great and is a piece of cake to land (relative to my RV-6 taildragger). The fuel flow takes my breath away.
I have 15 hours tach time on it now so I am changing the oil and knocking down the dams on the #1 and #2 cylinders. I am also adding a cover on the inside of the lower cowl to block the gap in the cowl above the gear leg. The 10 is much noisier than my 6 and 175 knots probably has something to do with it. During high power cruise I have been attempting to learn my G3X, GTN-650, and GX A/P integrated operations. I am very impressed with it.
Plane is fairly stock. MT weight is 1630 and I did all of the avionics wiring myself.

Congratulations Dave.
I am not too far behind. I have the fuselage painted with exception of the stripes, soon it will be home and ready for final installation.
Sean, I can't believe you have flown that thing 200+ hours! How are your CHT's? Did you modify your front dams at all?
