Brief Description:  5th flight

After having it all ready to go yesterday, today went out and did 2x around the pattern in 0.3. The temp for the right side cylinders is still a little low (about 20 lower than the left side), so I'll switch in the 1/8" higher baffle to see if that evens it out. The leak at the oil filter spacer fittings is still there with the new hose. Can't tell if the new hose is leaking, or the fitting at the spacer is leaking, or both. The new hose didn't go together very well - the blue fitting that goes inside the hose was slightly stripping when I first started it in the red nut on the end of the hose, so I took it back out, cleaned off the threads and was very sure to push in while turning, and got it to finish off cleanly. 2 options to look at - have an aircraft shop make up a hose, or see if the local automotive speed shop carries a fitting similar to this. Not sure what to do with the leak in the filter spacer itself. Flight characteristics - used flaps 20 for the landings. Got a little bounce (pio) on the 2nd landing - my fault for not holding the tail up.
