18 this morning when I took off. What a beast this thing is during cold temps. 189 knots at 6500feet and 2600rpm. I don't know how that compares to other RV8's but **** I like it.
I spent most of my life in Florida, where the scenery never changes. Colorado has more eye candy. Photo from this morning.

Nice
What kind of prop is that? Appears like a nice swept design I'm not familiar with?

Here is something you don't see often in San Diego.
A dripping faucet at the hangar created an ice stalagtite about a foot tall!
Temps were down to 25 degrees this morning.
The mountains north east of San Diego got a lot of snow, which is not very common. These are the foothills east of Temecula and Hemet.
That is about as cold as I can handle. Thankfully, the temps later this week will be back in the upper 70's! Normal winter weather again.  |
