Been a long time coming! 4 1/2 years on a quick build 8. AEIO-390-X performed flawlessly behind the MT prop. We have about 7hrs. flight time on her now. Here's the edited version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3q_zk6vhEo

...390...nice...

nice plane!

That's a nice looking airplane.

Any issues come up using a 390 instead of the typical 360?

same setup I want to do on my -7...love to see your performance numbers when you get that far. Any cooling issues yet? Congrats!

First Flight

Congratulations, Richard! I was getting tired of hearing Bill Gill complain that he couldn't get anyone to go flying with him up there!

Performance

Not to worry Rhonda, we didn't have to tell Bill to slow down! We ran at 75% power for the 1st hour w/o leaning, all temps were great. Averaged 179kts TAS. The 3 bladed MT didn't slow us down at all. Bill now has someone to fly with!
