Thanks Larry--I hope to make it to Dayton--even if only for a few hours one of the days.

Not to be argumentative, I get it that you need to reduce power to keep speed under control in the descent. But on engine start, let's say the motor's at 80 deg ambient temp, right after start it jumps to , say, 300+, right? That's tha same thermal stress you're describing, just in reverse, no?
