Good fun! I've put pictures and text up on my blog: rv-8.blogspot.com Techie details of interest that I didn't add: with light speed ignition and Whirlwind prop I'm doing 160 knots at 10,000 ft buring 6.7 G/hr or less. It made for plenty of fuel margin for a trip like this. endurance is something like 6:30 including a climb to 10,000.
