Email newsletter systems are annoying and outdated. Wish people would use H=
omebuiltAirplanes web forum, they even made a Rotary tab for us.

Steve,
can't read the data, but it flew so who cares? Great news, now the cooling =
problems will surface? I am surprised that I didn't hear it from here! Neil.

Hi People

The Glasair has finally left the ground and had a successful first flight.
I=E2=80=99ve attached a graph of the data. OAT was 63F
I was really very pleased given our smallish 20in2 coolant inlet area and <=
9in2 oil inlet area for ~190hp.
The temps are a bit hot (~220F) but we didn=E2=80=99t go beyond 110 knots. =
I suspect when we get the airspeed up above 150knots into her nose we=E2=80=

My hunch is we might have too much pressure in the cowl. The exit air area =
is approx. 30in2.

Appreciate any of your thoughts from the first flight data.

Cheers
