I sure felt good. No oil leak, no coolant leak, no overheating while running 30" MAP up to 9500. Today the wife and I did our first cross country.

On departure we were off the ground before we reached the displaced landing threshold. No other plane we saw came close to doing that. Turrrrrbo!!! Still limiting to 30" MAP continuous or 6000 RPM, which ever is more conservative. Also keeping TOT at 1600 or less (which is not very conservative but I need to fly). I need to have a reserve turbo before I allow more MAP and a balanced prop before I allow more RPM. Then we went to L.A and showed the plane off to the parents and got our free parental dinner (even though I'm 40 they still always pay). Practice ILS into Torrance. Flight following the whole way often talking to controllers we know (the wife is an air traffic controller - she is here to help). We often hear "Cleared through class bravo airspace at copilots own discursion." :-) Great day, keep building.
