Later after the engine and I had cooled off, I pulled the plugs one rotor
at a time, and sure enough there is no compression on
rotor #1.

Chuck,
Glad you made it okay, and got it on the ground. Have you had a chance to
check all your manifold and throttle body areas to see if any nuts/bolts are
missing? I had a chance to see your plane at Oshkosh last year, and I know
you modified the throttle body in the last year to get more power.
