Turbo Rotary Cozy IV N96PM (aka Slick Kitten) went to it's first fly-in at Sebring last weekend. More important, my wife came along for her first ride in the plane. The IVO prop is doing well and the temporary stock turbo is holding out (I'm being very gentle with it). As reported a couple of weeks ago, I found that the Earls filters were causing a fuel flow restriction at high rpm. With this resolved I'm now getting 4950 rpm static on full fine pitch and much better acceleration on take-off.  Cruising at 4800 rpm and 30 MAP at 5000' (I said I was being gentle) I got just under 7/gph and 160 kts GS on the trip.

Another blissfully uneventful 2.6 hrs. I wonder if I should log the trip, though, since I only had the controls for a total of about 10 minutes. My wife flew the plane the rest of the time. :(

By the way, the custom chairs in the picture came from another Cozy builder, Len, who has recently set up http://flightlinechairs.com to fund his composite habit. He duplicated my paint scheme and trim colors. I think he'll even do RV's!
