For those folks who came to Ada = Cooling Seminar:

Yesterday, we had a lovely = RV-8 come to Ada for some = baffling work. He had one of those “ideal” close = fitting “plenum” type baffle systems.

REALLY GORGEOUS AND REALLY NEAT = LOOKING. That and the Lopresti cowl made it look like it was doing 200 mph = sitting on the ramp.

We flew the airplane. = #1 CHT was 450 F on climb out at 4000 feet.

#2 was also really = bad.

We went to work on = it. It took two mechanics over an hour just to remove the “plenum” so we = could inspect it. Later, after we fixed the problems, = it took over an hour for three mechanics to put it back on.

When he comes back in a week or = so, to get a further nozzle tweak, we will have to do that all over = again.

This is the second RV-8 the owner = has built. He built this to be “really fast” - - and = incorporated all of the “best” cowling and other speed mods. =

This airplane is slower than his = first airplane with the more traditional RV 8 standard = cowl.

Regards, = George
