Congratulation Bob!! When you do the new engine mount, one possibility would be to put the oil cooler next to the rad and feed with the same plenum. That was the thought when we made the wedge oil pan. Jerry

I finally got my plane in the air, lifting off at 7:50AM this morning.
OAT was about 40F. Flew for about 20 minutes, did one stall and landed
to check everything.
I bobbled around a bit on take off getting used to the control feel.
Landing was uneventful.
I will need to do some work on cooling as I expected. The oil cooler
location is poor with not enough room behind it and oil temps are
running about 10-15 deg warmer than the water. Both are too high for
summer time flying. Max oil temp was about 220F, so it was higher than
I wanted to see. I also want to recheck the calibration on the sensors
just to make sure I didn't mess that up.
Another rotary is now flying at least a little. Send me one of those
buttons Tracy! :)
