I just returned on Friday from trip of about 2500 nm, including
       visits
       in Salt Lake City, North Dakota, and Boulder, CO.  Plane worked
       great,
       engine ran fine ? even at density altitude of 16,500 over the
       Rockies
       west of Denver.  Typical cruise of 165 KTAS, and 9.5 ghp.  (I
       like my
       20B rotary). Had good weather all the way.


       Photo 1 ? Air Center of Salt Lake at Muni #2 (U42) were very
       friendly,
       helpful and accommodating. Spotless hangar where they put my
       plane in
       with a jet and twin turbo.  (the plane was very happy there).



       Photo 2 ? Crossing the divide around Rollins Pass.  I peaked at
       about
       13,800 MSL, but density altitude was 16,400.  I was surprised to
       note
       that I was still climbing at 160 KTAS and 500 fpm and still had
        throttle
       to go. It occurred to me that the regs give O2 requirements based on
       indicated MSL, when density altitude must be more representative
       of O2
       content. (Of course I wasn?t above 12,500 more than a few minutes).



       Just sharing some of the things you do AFTER you finish building.

   Nuts!  I wish I had known.  I would have zipped out to see your
   handiwork and taken you to lunch.

Hey, I thought you said something about pictures.
We really need those to keep us motivated.

Did I screw up for the first time in my life? :)
No I don't think so :)
