Fort unately it was just after departure and we were able to limp back at reduce d power. We tried to protect it by putting fire hose around it but even that didn't work. In the end we shifted the whole assembly that the radiator is secured to backwards an inch and that solved the problem. The manual does not aler t you to this potential danger and it really should.

It has 5.3 hours on the clock. Two days ago I was setting the pitch stops on the prop when I lo st most of the coolant. The starboard radiator hose had a hole melted throu gh it from the muffler. The hose is only about 10mm to 15mm away from the m uffler. Has any one had this happen and if so how do you prevent it form h appening again. Luckily it happened on the ground and not on the first flig ht or any other for that matter.

The hose had been protected by thermo sleeve (sliver coated material). It still burnt through. The engine cooked and 4 heads and 3 barrels replaced which costs a fortune. I moved the radiator and oil cooler back as far as possible which has left s ufficient space now.
