Its a lot of fun isnt it - worth all that work and more. I just passed 300 on mine - new engine is going together for it now.....more about that later. I hope to get a transponder finally so I can travel places (ha ha). So glad you made it tot the College. It was a real boost t see you confidence and flying skills up to that level where you are becoming a better pilot. Dont stop learning and continue to fly safe! Glad to hear your kids got a ride - Has your wife gone up yet or does she stay home and hold onto the insurance policy? Hope to see you soon.

Rapid throttle advancement will ultimately shorten the life of any engine. When I was an airline pilot, we added power slowly as a general practice. The max temp reached during takeoff as a result was 10 degree C lower and the engine life was doubled. The turbo is tempting, but it is not necessary to stress the engine.
