Brief Description:  Flight 29 - over the house

0.6 flight time. Flew over the house, circled it 3 times at 1000 AGL and 90-100 mph at 2000-2100 rpm. Made the last pass with a little push down for speed and throttle up for about 140-150mph climbing away. Returned to practice area (about 10 miles West) climbing to 5500'. Did some steep turns. It was smooth up there, but wind about 20 from the East. So return was slower, though I pushed it over for 160 indicated at 2800 rpm while descending. In the climb back to the practice area the RH CHT was slightly high, so I pushed the nose over and decreased throttle. It gradually came back. The RH CHT is always higher than the LH, so some mod to the baffle may be in order. On return, pulled the cowling. Hadn't done that in a few flights. Soot on the LH side of the oil cooler baffle (as seem before), and dark areas on the inside of the cowling under the forwards exhaust manifolds on each side. I'll have to look at that a little closer.
