Just some updates after the first 10 hours.

Some of you have asked me if the windshield deforms at all in flight- at cruise I see about 1/2” or so of deflection 6” up from cowl about 12” wide. Less than I expected. Not concerning at all.
If you are concerned about this I think a little more height on the boot cowl would give you more curvature and more rigidity.

I am seeing much more cruise and top speed than I expected - WOW
Prob the windshield being more Aerodynamicable??
