I am glad you are happy with the results Area 51! I agree, the increased power
is appreciable especially getting through the “am I flying or still on the
ground” phase which can be less than confidence inspiring sometimes, not to
mention the increase in cruise speed.
I hope you calculated the extra drag that opening the lower cowling had on the
aerodynamics prior to that ? 😉
