Brief Description:  Hot Cylinder #3 1

One pickup from the first flight is to cool cylinder number 3 CHT. It was running about 30 degrees hotter than the others. After research on the forum I was led to noice the aft side of cylinder three has the baffle right up against the cylinder and there are no fins there so no air can flow thru. I removed the baffle and hammer formed a dent to allow air thru. I sprayed it with paint so it won't get corrosion and reinstalled the baffle.

Fixed now #3 is often the coolest cylinder.
