I removed the water thermostat and installed a cowl flap.  Temps were fine, but the thought of giving up speed to cooling losses kept me awake at night.  So, I installed a Ray Allen servo powered cowl flap, and guess what?  I picked up 11 mph (214mph TAS @ 6500msl, per EM-2).  Not bad for a day's work!

Mark;

Keep up the good work! Maybe at some point you’ll be able to keep up with my Velocity – 229 mph per EM2 at 6500 msl.  O-o-o-o-o-o . . the gauntlet has been thrown!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, am I just missing any activity on this list over the last week?  Snce I have hopefully got my strakes repaired I am back to working on the engine and really like knowing you guys and gals are around for support, insight and encouragment.

 

Chris; here’s some encouragement.  Flying here yesterday – temp on the ground was 70; calm wind, visibility about 100 miles, air as smooth as velvet, snow covered mountains all around to the east. What a view!  20B going H-u-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m.

 

It was awful, tell all your friends not to move hereJ.
