I will make a few adjustments today and get a better idea of the performance numbers. From what I can tell so far, they are about the same as the other O-320 taildraggers I've had.

You and Donna don't look to bad either ; ) Lot's of rain here, probably be snow your way in a few days, so not much flying getting done. I am ready to go to Arizona and visit George! But, N168A is getting electronic ignition, new nose oil seal, and prop won't be done for a while yet.

Temp was about 18F and winds were right down runway 19 @ 7 knots. The runway was slippery but not a problem. It flew a little left wing heavy but after checking the flap rigging the left flap was set a little higher than the right. I haven't made the strut fairings yet and the prop may need a little adjusting. It statics only 2200 rpm and I didn't check the max in flight rpm yet b ut seems like it will be about 26-2650 rpm. In this cold weather it works fine and will mess with it after the fairing and rigging is squared away. The engine also has only 20 minutes on it. I think it will be a nice airplane and the heater works good. The lady standing beside me in one of the pictures is my wife Donna, she puts up with a lot.
