Brief Description: Cooler and cowl back on. test flight tomorrow
This bird actually looked flawless at one point, can you believe it? ... Now it's a TLC work in progress. But who cares, I'm solving problems and making this bird go faster. I scuff sanding the primer I laid down yesterday and re-installed the oil cooler with a fresh bead of red RTV. And hopefully, the cooler won't need to be removed again for a LONG time. The Contour of the scoop is ok, larger than I hoped for, but not bad. I've still got to fair the cowling into the scoop a bit for a smoother transition, but this is def. good enough for now. The test flight is tomorrow and I can honestly say, if this doesn't lower my temps, then I have no idea what to do next.....Here's to a winner!...cheer cheer.
