Gads! This thread is going to be up to 50 pages before I finish. Jealousy aside, that's a pretty bird.

Default 40-ODD flies

Yesterday on a warm and sunny Denver morning, N400DD took her maiden steps into the air after 4 years and 5 months and 2750 man-hours of building. Short flight due to very high CHTs, but it flew nonetheless. Can't wait for more!

Default Congrats

Dwight,
Congratulations on first flight. Maybe the high CHTs had something to do with the cooling plugs?? I think the consenses is that it is better to limit the exit than to limit the intake. But I think the CHTs are easily fixed because the RV10 is well proven. Thanks for adding another tick mark to the meter.
