Here is the Motec data recording.

Dan actually made two hops today. Unfortunately the
battery went dead in both my cameras for the second hop.
One I left on by mistake in movie mode and it ran the battery down.
That was supposed to be my back up camera.

I was so excited today I was not thinking too clearly.

Here is the first hop.

The numbers for the vertical blue line are on the left.

RPM was actually 5050. Dan reported 4500 but he had a lot to do :-)

The throttle was right at 40%.

The manifold pressure got up to 35 inches of Hg.

Amazingly exhaust manifold pressure was atmospheric.
That 1.25 inch diameter hole in the exhaust manifold is really working :-)

Maximum water temperature was  110.8 F.
Oil Temp. 106 F. I am overjoyed how well the water cooling system is working.

Since we have 4 gallons of oil very little oil actually goes through the engine.
We could easily use only two and save 14 pounds.

Prior to 2007 (BFMB) most rotaries over heated on the way to the runway.

Air out of the compressor was 100.1 F. No water injection needed.

The first hop took 20 seconds.

The taxii back to the next hop took 160 seconds  or about 2.7 minutes.
Each small timing mark is 10 seconds.
