I squeezed out of work yesterday and got in a little flying. Last day in Jan, 50 degrees but windy, not terrible in north Joisey for January

Used the starter on the OS and had no problems. Two solid flights some 30 minutes of flying, and a little closer to break in. I'm still using the 18x12 hybrid; even in 20 mph wind the engine pulled great. Half throttle for everything it seemed.

Have also started to finish the 18x10 3 blade. We'll see how the weather co-0perates in next couple weeks.

Edit, Feb 5:

Got 3 in this weekend....Cool conditions and a bit breezy, but I am only interested in the engine's performance, and not the flying necessarily. Flying full Masters schedules with all the vertical stuff included. But have only got 2/3rds gallon through it so far

The engine is beginning to really impress me. After the early problems, it seems that it has settled down. Starter starts are really simple
