More cowl rubbing issues were addressed. The top of the oil pan was hitting the cowl, so more was removed there. The right side engine cooling baffle was reworked to re-direct more air to the back cylinders. The cooling baffle was also tilted to reduce airflow resistance. A new throttle level knob was replaced a few days back and a picture is included here along with the flap position indicator. Both were installed before first flight. The mixture cut-off valve was again adjusted to increase the fuel flow. I still don't feel I was getting full fuel to the engine at high RPM, which is evident with the high EGT's. I also ran coax from the new ham radio 2m antenna and coax from the ELT antenna to be used with the COM to check-out radio noise solutions.
