2 years 7 months slow build. No major issues and all of my temps were great. I have the 5” flange and scat tube on my cooler. @85% power I had 375 on the high CHT and 1400 EGT. Oil temp never went over 180.... YEE HAW that was fun. Only real issue was some rubbing of the Vetterman exhaust on the cowl exit hole. Builder error.

Brian, that is great. I bet it was one of the most rewarding things you have done. Congratulations and have a great phase 1.
 
Sweet Brian! 2 years 7 mos "slow" build? Mine took 8.5 years. Enjoy the plane ... these things are sooo much fun to fly!
