Corky,

Neat story. Many people forget to switch them on the first time.

explained that the engine was now producing
under 70% power, possibly 65%, and that he could advance the throttle
right to the firewall if he wanted to. He chose not to, he's very
conservative and still needs to fly the airplane some more before he's
comfortable doing a "John Deakin".


That's nowhere near a John Deakin. That guy needs a complex checkout
(and yes, I assume he has the sign-off already).

Also, that GPS holder needs work - no offense to you meant ;-)
