Hello friends,

I am in the pre-first-flight phase and suffer some problems. I would
appreciate valuable hints to the following issues:

- being on the runway and pushing the throttle forward I have to constantly
brake on the right side not to leave the runway. Is that "normal" or up to
which extend is the latter tolerable ?
- I have my oil-cooler in front of Zylinder 2 facing downwards. I have a
plenum to seal the incoming air. I placed a small cover over the cooler to
guide the air downwards for cooling purposes. The remaining air is going the
Zylinders 2 and 4. Unfortunately CHTs are still very high (>200 C) and
oil-temperature is after going the runway 4 times up and down (1,5 Km) more
than 100 C. This is definitely to much. Outside temps are appr. 13 C. What I
am doing wrong? Any experience with forward placed coolers ? Recommendations
?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Peter
