Tom Hahn flew it since I had not realized that I needed a CFI endorsement for my insurance to activate. He has flown most of the local RV's on first flight. He had run the airplane at high power 3 times the length of the field (4000 feet of soft turf) and the coolant temp was very hot when he took off. Oil temps were good. > >He saw an indicated coolant temp of 249, but no coolant appeared to blow out of the system. Talked to Tracy and he said there were 2 different sensors and maybe I was cal'd wrong. We checked it and the cal was correct. It did not seem that hot when we taxied in and snatched the top cowl off. > >Scratching head on next step, but the airplane flew great! > >Bernie > Way to go; you're officially on the list as a presenter May 28th. If you can build the fuse. in a month you will get the time flown off within the next couple of weeks. Charlie
