I flew all of the new changes on the EZ Sat. It was 90 degrees and humid for the
taxi testing and the flight. I never saw over 200 degrees oil or coolant temps. No
oil or coolant leaks and the fuel injection worked perfect. The engine starts
easily, always has the same static RPM, and the exhaust seems to run very clean.
With a little over 1/2 tanks and no wheel paints. I used about 1200' of runway and
climbed at about 1300 ft/min at 130 MPH. In rough air it indicated over 200 MPH at
3400RPM. It is very smooth and quieter than the Cont. But not as quite as I had
hoped for.

Dee, Nicole, and I went to the lake and did some windsurfing for the rest of the
weekend. I plan to put the wheel paints on and do some more testing this week. I
also need to build a spinner and reduce the size if the augmentation tube since I
seem to have more cooling than I need.

Charlie is also building a rotary powered airplane. This one is a soob I think.
It has one of Tracy Crook's fuel injection computers. I am glad it is working
so Tracy can get back to building re-drives and computers for us :-).
Did you make money on this project Tracy? :-)
