"Remain Calm and Build the Plane" - Shipping Damage

Hello Everyone,I have been building my Cruzer by purchasing individual kits as the "airplane in a box" approach was a bit intimidating at the time (would do it in hindsight).  Wings and empennage are complete.  I ordered my fuselage/controls kit in August.The kit consists of two separate crates.  One is 153 X 49 x16 inches @355 pounds and the other is a large, heavy duty standard shipping box of 62 X 44 X 30 inches @ 200 pounds.I was contacted on Monday that the kit was at the local terminal,…See More

I have a 750 Cruzer with about 90 hours on it.  The CHT's have been fine, but the EGT's can become elevated if I run it at about 2600 RPM--if I run at 2500 or at 2800 it is fine.  Tom
