That's what I was referencing above, but no engines on it yet or at least not since the last time I was up there. He has a lot into it but it's a compelling machine once the engines start shipping next year. Should be a must-visit booth at Oshkosh next year.

Just dropped... I think he needs to add a few more coolant tanks, maybe another heater somewhere. Maybe paint the plane black to radiate some of that heat off.
I hope someday I have an opportunity to buy this guy a beer for the entertainment value he has provided.

So, CG was his main problem before. I don't remember how far he moved it for this flight and what adding fuel is going to do. Heck, a RV10 is faster at a lower fuel flow with all that gear hanging down. We need to set a poll on where it trues out at with the gear up. I'm thinking maybe at RV10 speeds at a higher fuel flow. Of course, his temps only stabilized after he pulled it back to 55% power.
