It gets better. Pilot in front of the spar. Plug in wing panels with pip pins locking the spar together. Stabilator. It is so close to being just an aluminum incarnation of the Europa it's scary. Steve Eberhart Building an RV-7A but I was smitten by the Europa early on.

Give the engine some time, as long as "high" does not mean over spec. The temps will come down.
