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!!!!!!!!!!!

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
