Just joking on the MT based off previous posts and the same discussion
happening over at Vans Airforce. I really wish I had the smoothness of
the MT. I know a few have said 2360 is the smooth RPM but for me 2400 is
the sweet spot. I need to get my prop balanced.
It is hard to say whether the ceramic coating has been worth it. I
would probably do it again since it was only around $250. I checked my
EGT's against another RV-10 that I was flying with on Wednesday and we
were almost identical so it doesn't seem to change that. I guess I
would have to put a thermocouple in the cowl of a ceramic coated exhaust
and one without to see if there is a difference. It looks great when it
is first done but loses its shine over time. I've also heard that it is
more difficult to weld if you crack the exhaust. But I thought, hey if
it is good enough for Dago Red, it is good enough for an RV-10.
The toy run was a blast. I took a good friend with me who has a
daughter-in-law that is Navajo. He couldn't believe how much fun it was.
He said it was the most fun he had ever had in his life. I'm sure it
was part due to the enjoyment of flying and the visibility of the RV-10
while flying over Southern Utah on a perfect day, but mostly the
satisfaction we all get when we help others and make another life a
little bit better. What a great combination of activities to give you a
buzz.
Hope you all have a great Chritmas, and to all you still building, get
flying and we will start a National RV Toy Deliver Day every Christmas.

....Do you find your exhaust ceramic coating to be something worthwhile to do? Kudos on your toy delivery run, what a great way to justify burning a few gallons and helping others!!
