All systems worked fine - cooling was marginal in climb but we had a good inversion and the outside air temperature was quite warm. Several neighbors videoed the flight and I heard several comments about how quiet the rotary plane was when we played the video. We had a 180 hp RV-7A flying chase and on the video it was much louder!! Only flew about 10 minutes but made an acceptable landing considering there were about 50 people watching. I'll post some picures of the plane later tonight. Dennis Haverlah RV-7A, Renesis, James Cowl Radiators under engine Catto 76 in dia- 8 in pitch EC-2, Em-2, RD1-C
