Dave S., Bernie, et al, Point well taken.

Yes, I was very lucky and will never do that again. I thought about the x-p squawking to the world how dumb this pilot over Ga was but didn't dare turn it off. I was on top of Atlanta Hartsfield class B much of the time and decided they would be less concerned about somebody straying above 18,000 than they would about a plane at unknown altitude inside their class B.

Class A here I come, I'll deal with FAA if I have to. By the time I spiraled down through closely spaced thunderstorms in Florida I had spent about 2 hours between 16 and 18 thousand feet. It was a fairly high stress period.

Wow! You're too much Tracy. You are cottonpicking lucky you did not hypoxia and pull the Otter apart. Did you turn off the alt x-p during the period over 18K? I know you did not talk to anyone so doubt they can trace you anyway.

Putting a larger cowl flap door, now have reasonable feeling cranking compression.
