I have about 8 flight hours on the aircraft now. Everything is functioning nomrally. The plane is very responsive, and at 5500ft 78% power 25in/2600rpm TAS is 157 knots, at 12.1 gph. I have to run high power / fuel flows during the break-in period. Oil burn is nomral; 3/4qt over the first 8 hours.
Since Sun n Fun is going on this week, and the local aispace is either shutdown or crazy busy... I decided to go ahead and finish / install the nose wheel fairings.
