I had my eyes glued on the EM2 and was just glancing at the air speed, so I don't have a clue, but it was not too long. I'm sire if I did not have the landing gear down the temps would go down faster. My number one problem is the transponder. I'm at controlled airport with C- airspace above 1200 feet. So, transponder is a must. Thanks again for your help with the prop spacer. I assume you received my package with thew block.
