The I'm going out flying thread 2016

I was hoping to keep the miles down on it since it's like a prized possession (first new engine I bought) but I guess I'll have to if I want to fly.

DA70 bro.

The mighty, but mini DA70!

Oh yes, that DA 70 sounds way better than mine. Mine just does not have that power and smoothness. Mine is like number 30 of the lot. Wonder if I should send mine in. Also, mine runs hot. I just started to fly an older airplane, and I put in a DA 85, and wow!! that is now my favorite motor (after a 200)
way awesome power, and runs cool, and does not shake bad.

My flying buddy used to fly a Pilot 107" Extra 330SC with a DA85 and an RE3. Tons of power!

Does this count as going flying?
On my way to Watkins Glen this morning. I did get out yesterday morning and burned some Redline for a few hours.

I think it's going to be helicopter day tomorrow weather permitting. I'm trying to get the cyclic response on the T-Rex a little faster so I made a few changes that I need to go test.
