Gaylen, I like your cowl - air inlet low with
radiator(s) below engine, not the stock RV air holes. Exactly what I'm
planning to do. Looks like you've tapered the cowl so it looks like
there's a jet engine inside!
. . . Will be interesting to see what kind of
speeds you get compared to stock cowls.
Hope you can give us some pictures of your
installation with cowl off so we can see the engine mount and radiator locations
and ducting.

Subject: [FlyRotary] First flight, RV-8
N5093F
First flight today. Climbed to 6500' over
the airport and began a conservative program. Did mild
maneuvering, approaches to stalls, simulated approaches at altitude,
flaps at 50% and 100%. .6 hour. Limited airspeed to 110 Kt.
OAT 50F. Water temp 190 in climb, 180 with power back. Oil temp
170. Needs more left rudder on take-off and climb than expected,
otherwise flys nice! More data as
acquired.
I'm indebted to the list for all the shared
information that made this project possible. Thanks Tracy for
making your products available.
