Harlan - Gonna ask you the same question I asked Dustin - how much paint did you use on the cowl, flaperons, lift-struts, gear, etc.? A quart or 2? A gallon? Thanks!

Well it was an uneventful flight, which is good! Oil temps got to the top of the green so I have to do some looking at my sender or thermostat? Taking my heat gun with me to check real temps first.
I moved to the airport for a while so I could fly it often to get used to it. It rains about every other day here in the spring so my runway stays wet this time of the year.
Water temp set at 190 for the whole 45 min flight. Everything else worked as it should. Need a trip tab on the rudder for a little right rudder in level flight.
I'm sure I will learn more with more flights.
Thanks for all the help everyone to get it in the air!
