Checked the following after several weeks of working on the heater control and duct, moving ballast, bleeding brakes, changing oil:
Hot air was coming out of the front duct when checked at 7K', OAT 55F. The sun was shining so didn't need any heat for the rest of the flight so turned it off.
Reached 10,500 West of KXBP using the autopilot.
Ammeter is not reading correctly after the Dynon software upgrade to 16.4.0. Contacted Dynon and the vendor. Dynon recommended restoring the .dfg and .svg files (move them to the root directory and load them using the Skyview "load files" option.
The nose wheel castor Belleville washer needs lubricated again, seems to stick/chatter when it rotates. Also need to check the upper pivot bolt/bearings.
A few drops of oil were found in the aft lower cowl again. Oil was on the AN8 45 coming out of the accessory case near the oil pump adapter. I got a little more torque on the new oil hose.
The AP worked fairly well but seems to need a little tweaking as occasionally there was some pitch oscillation in minor turbulence.
I remembered to fire up the GoPro and posted one video taking off from T67 and climbing to 10500.
Noticed #1 CHT was reading >10F cold compared to the other CHT's today with the engine off. I reseated the probe and checked the spade connections, which seemed tight but were oily. Rechecked and is now reading the same as the others.
