The front engine cools very well and the rear engine cools better than the front. Last Friday as I was climbing to 17,500 and noticed the rear engine chts were starting to creep up. I realized I left the cowl flaps closed and the engine immediately cooled down when I opened them. By the way, there are no cowl flaps in front, just cowl outlets/exhaust pipe fairings similar to the Piper Malibu.
At 17,500 I saw about 235kt tas at about 70% power.
I haven't gotten the "66 back yet. They are dialing in the Aspen PFD. During the test flight the compass swung 15 degrees off when we turned on the air conditioning. Aspen is sending a new module.
