I have logged 18.4 hours now and by flying Wed- Sat mornings expect to have Phase 1 complete by Saturday. Approach to landing stalls are very gentle; good stick shake and no tendency to snap over. The Cheltons are ,in the background, calling "stall stall" at about 5 kts before the break. The pitch cap appears yellow on the PFD at 70 KIAS and red at 65 KIAS I may change this as clean stalls are about 58 KIAS and flap stalls are about 48 KIAS at 2300 gross weight. One other thought when you get the DAR paperwork; get the biggest area he can allow. At 10 speeds one does a lot of repeat landings and make one of them a cheap? fuel stop.
Trimming the air dams in front of # 1 and # 2 have provided enough additional cooling for now. temps are staying below 400f and mostly in the 340-360 range. These temps while leaning to about 1350 -1400 EGTs. Number 1 was trimmed twice while #2 was trimmed once. I used aluminum tape to seal baffling holes. Oil consumption for the last 5 hours has been about half a quart. So thing seem to be settling down both in terms of temps and oil consumption.
Hot starts using the procedure on a checklist I modified from someone else on the list works well. I call it the turbine start. ignition on, throttle fast idle and begin cranking, smoothly advance the mixture from idle cutoff and the engine will fire as soon as the gas/air mixture is correct
