    Thanks Desert Fox. I misprinted my tach reading. I am seeing 120 mph indicated at 5460. I"ll do a an airspeed check this morning before the wind comes up and report what it looks like in the cool air.
    Thanks again.

    I have an adjustable prop and keep it at about 5400 all the time. Rotax at osh told me that if you can do that your gear case will last longer.

    Im closing this thread. The Engine is in and working well. I have about 10 hours on it and I'm happy with it's performance and the Dynon DS10 as well. the minor adjustments that are coming are just ... minor adjustments.
    Thank you all for real help and real advice. there is no where but here to get answers. You are the duty experts and you are the voice of reason. Thanks again.
