DAR (Dick Dumbler) inspection went smooth as silk today even with an FAA guy following him around. No squawks.  Hope to start flying off the 40 hours tomorrow.

Best of luck with your fly-off. Please keep us informed of how it goes, 

as this is an 'undocumented'  part of the plan.

Thanks.  First couple of hours went great.  Oil temp (217) and a couple of CHT's (430) a little higher than I would like but I understand they should come down with time.   Plane is flying hands off.

Just wondered if you have the wheel faring installed?

Sam, 

Have not installed gear leg fairings or wheel pants. Per Vans "when engine break-in is a concern, you should perform flight testing without the wheel fairings and gear leg fairings.  This will add around 15% to the airframe drag and thus cause higher engine temperatures at any given forward speed.  Higher cylinder head temperatures, within limits, are necessary for seating piston rings (break-in)".

This is getting to be an almost daily occurance, perhaps before OSH is 

over, we will have 50 -10's flying!?.  Must feel good (will feel even 

better on Wed I suspect).



Keep us informed, and motivated

Mark,



 From what I've heard, 435 is near the max you'll see in a well

set up IO-540, in a full power climb.  So you're probably fine

with your new engine.  I've seen 217 once on a hot day long

climb, but usually my Oil temp is 185-195.   Don't worry as

much until you put 5 hours on it and it's starting to break

in a little.  Those first few will be hot from what I hear.

Tim,    

Appreciate your feed back.  Flew today and the temps are starting to come down (100 degree Texas weather not helping).  I'm feeling better.  What a fun plane to fly!  With the MT prop there is no need to use pitch trim on landing - plenty of elevator.  Also no tunnel heat with Vans fix installed.  Still working my way through all the capablities of the TruTrak Sorcerer auto pilot - so far it's amazing.  

Thanks for all you do for the group.   

Mark
