Dennis,

 

BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!  We'll be looking for you to show up at Lockhart some weekend very soon.  Those RV guys need to witness a rotary that actually flies.  (Mine has been "very close" for over a year now.)  And be prepared to remove the cowl when you arrive.  There will surely be a crowd gathered before you can even get the canopy open.

Congratulations, Dennis.  A great day for sure!  A lot of work and $$ coming
to successful launch.  Unless you make the cooling system capacity
considerably greater than you need at cruise, you will always run a cooling
deficit during climb - high power, low airspeed.  So long as it doesn't
exceed your limits and cools off once sufficient airspeed is reach, you
should be fine
