Dang,

I was hoping you wouldn't show that way I could be the best alternate engine there.  Now I have no chance!!

Oh well, it will be great to see you anyway.   Looking forward to seeing the new mods!

Are you staying saturday nigtht?  My wife is driving out with the baby and going to spend the day shopping in Primm (at the outlet stores)..

Dave;

 

Thanks for the heads-up on the fly-in.  I was not aware of it.  The installation of the oil/water cooler (and other mods) on my Velocity 20B is complete and I did a first ground run yesterday.  Will do flight testing tomorrow.  If all goes well I plan to be at Jean Sat. a.m.

 

Principal changes are the oil/water cooler in parallel with the existing oil/air cooler, a new and re-shaped scoop and diffuser for the wing-root radiator, and an in-line thermostat in the wing root rad circuit.  I'll report more on the performance later.

 

Al
