Hey, we just did it to FLY somewhere, and the free lunch, of course! Anytime I can put 5.3 hours on the plane on such a gorgeous day, it's a good thing. Paul, Larry, and Phil did the work. I just took pictures and offered commentary from the peanut gallery. I can verify that Paul's dihedral is likely more accurate than most. On the way back, I was able to do some more flight testing and gather a lot of data, including a glide back to my home airport from 11,500' with the engine at idle. I also discovered that my oxygen saturation rate at 9500' is 91%, compared to 98% at my normal 800' elevation. Apparently most people don't get into cognitive problems until it's far lower. Just for kicks, I started breathing a little deeper and in a minute or so got it up to 97%, which is something I'll keep in mind in the future. Yes, I do have an O2 tank, and carry it when I expect to fly high, but just in case, knowing that deeper breathing can help if I suspect I'm getting ditzy is a good thing.
