We took off from Palm Springs this afternoon. It was HOT, but the plane performed flawlessly. OAT was 38C, DA 3250'
We opted for the long runway, but it wasn't necessary. We used 1/3 flaps but did not lean for takeoff. We "rolled" into the departure, and were off before the threshold. I used Google Earth to estimate the takeoff distance--very close to 1250'. Climb was just a little less than normal. I was worried about oil temp, which got to the bottom of the yellow by around 6000'. We nosed over a bit until it cooled and then just continued the climb (at that point we were passing 1000' over a Mooney that took off in front of us...).
Takeoff weight was about 2450
CHT was always around 385.
This is a great plane!

I agree totally! Yesterday up here it was a nice smooth morning
in the 60's, so I met some fellow RV-ers for breakfast. I pushed
the throttle forward all the way, mixture full rich, straight
and level, until I hit 182kts. I've seen slightly higher one
day, but it's nice to know it still performs "as listed".
Oh, and after balancing my tires, once again, all landings had
almost nothing for shimmy left.
