Larry, The incidence and washout are identical to yours. Weight during the flight was about 920lbs.
I flew it again tonight in smooth air. I went WOT at 3k ft. for about 60 seconds and was indicating 173 before an egt warning flashed at me. The motor was spinning 3600rpms. When I got on the ground we discovered quite a bit of oil on the fuse. Turned out to be a cracked return line from the air oil separator, which I had snugged up just before the flight. The ground run did not reveal it, likely because it was not blowing much oil out of the breather (at least compared to the 3600rpm run). It also still needs to have the outlet of the oil cooler opened up a bit. Still seeing cruise oil temps of just under 220f. I am not worried about the temp, but the pressure starts to get borderline for the rpm its running (30psi at 3000rpm in cruise). Its all fixed up now and ready for flight in the morning. The only other challenge has been S turning to see where I am going on the ground and keeping the wing tips off of the taxiway marker posts.
