We had a successful and event free test flight number two today!!! Prelim numbers show a cruise speed of 155mph at 23" of mp and 3000 engine rpm. This is 15 mph faster than my initial design goal. This is also only 15 mph slower then my fathers 200hp RV-8. These speeds would not have been possible without the use of the GT electric prop. After shutdown I laser checked the cylinder head temps. None of them were over 200f. The baffling is doing its job quite well! Time to de cowl and do a visual inspection and filter check. Video is posted below.
