Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a quieter muffler. My ANR headset does a good job of killing the low frequencies, but a poor job on the higher frequencies. The rotary has both. So take your pick, turn the ANR on and listen to the high frequencies, or turn it off and listen to the low rumble. If I could only find an ANR that can do both I would be a happy camper.

I added another 1.3 hours to my total flight time today. And for the first time I landed and was completely satisfied with the flight. I'd still like to quiet it down a little, but this was the first flight where I didnt feel like there was anything that had to be fixed before the next flight. Even the landing was pretty decent.

I've got just over 9 hours of flight time and about 40 hours of engine run time now. So far all of my flight time has been directly over the airport because to venture away requires flying over about 50 miles of mostly unlandable mountainous terrain. But I'm starting to think seriously about stretching the legs a little...
