I agree with Tracys findings below regarding the size of the coolant
overflow bottle.  I build a 1 pint one integrated with my header tank.  I
found that it would frequently overflow with the lose of a small amount of
coolant (which would require refurbishment after a few flights).  I put a 2
quart plastic overflow bottle and now have no coolant lost.
