Please to announce that rotary powered Glastar C-GSPC has finally left the ground today for a few circuits.  Left wing is a bit heavy, my EGT were different by 70 degrees at WOT, found a couple rough spots in the MAP table that did not show up with ground runs and a minor oil leak that I thought was fixed is back so I guess there is a bit more tuning to do.  It was 0C (32F) OAT and oil and water never got above 185F. 
 
 
Congrats Perry!  Sounds like a completely successful first flight to me, with the exception of being too damn cold outside :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty (I'm going to need a heater)
