Airplane has been a hangar queen too long! Have started it several times=
 recently and it has really run good. Twice I've been to the hangar to s=
tart removing the rotary and installing the Lyc., but both times chicken=
ed out. Just do not have the heart to start removing what I worked so ha=
rd to put in. Still get a lot of grieve from the homefront about there i=
s too much homebrew in it to suit her.
Anyway, thanks to Will James providing parts to put bottom of cowling ba=
ck to original confiquration, except did not put the bottom flap back on=
 and guess what, the temperatures did not even get above 180 degrees (oi=
l or coolant ) during max climb to 3500 feet at 90 mph indicated. Flew f=
or about 30 minutes , some slow flight and feel a stall again before I l=
anded. Greased it on the first couple hundred feet and a big grin when I=
 taxied in. =

Squawks,radio could not transmit but a neighbor was standing by with a h=
andheld. With handsignals got him to understand I could read but not tra=
nsmit so he called radio for me. 2nd thing I have to get going before fl=
ying to Lakeland next weekend is the Ipaq. Had let the battery run total=
ly down and lost software. When I finally got it downloaded to it again,=
 it does not get GPS signal , so will have to get it sorted out. Do not =
feel comfortable flying w/o cones of safety anymore. There are plenty of=
 grass strips to go into across the state, but finding them w/o the ipaq=
 is tough.
Hope to see some of you at lakeland, but pay no attention to Laura's wor=
king Bernie over about losing his dipstick. Thanks Buly for the quick re=
sponse.
Bernie
