Sure are some rumors out there.
If it is true that John and Debra McBean are in the running to purchase
Skystar---this could be the best news that we have heard in a while.
John, could you give us any info?
Say its true!

John,
Your last comment reminded me of my reaction during the early hours. I
couldn't believe how well it flew. I still have those feelings from time to
time and I am definitely on a bit of a high after every flight and that
after a lot of flights.
Keep the reports coming.

Lost track on the Poly, but think it was three gallons of Poly-brush, two
gallons of Poly-spray and two gallons of white poly-tone. About three
quarts of poly-tak. Buy the 5 gallon mek possibly locally at hardware store
and use it for the Poly-tak, Poly-brush, Poly-spray and cleanup. I used
poly thinner for the color coat and do not know if mek would work or not.
Lost a few brain cells I'm sure so use ventilation and good respirator
when spraying. Brushing the first coat on was the worst stone I got as it
was cold with the windows shut.

Well, here's the first one. Getting a wee bit hot. Any of you NSI chaps on
the list still? I have the std NSI radiator and also an Earls heater
radiator hooked to the heater circuit and goes through the water to oil
cooler and turbo. Oil temp is good around 90degs C but water's getting to
110+ and looses a bit of coolant and the pressure drops (I have a 10 psi
pressure switch and light).I have an intake in the lower cowl and a plnum
leading back to the radiator.
I've read on the SOOB list that some of the early NSI radiators were
defective? Anyone heard of this problem? John A.

I am running a turbo nsi. Yes, cooling was a big problem. Is your nsi
radiator a deep aluminum? The one for the turbo is much larger than the
stock nsi radiator. I had to whack my cowl up and put in scoops and exit
vents. Plus I put cowlings on both of the radiators, oil and water. I also
blocked off the smiley cowl intake. The last flight all was good. It was
around 85 deg. outside during the test. Do you have pics of your install?

Having just gone through this cooling thing myself, I'll relate what I
learned (and it's the same thing anyone else will tell you). This process
will take several iterations before you get what you like. Make absolutely
sure that there are no air leaks in the cowl. This got me, and I'm still
fighting it. You might try playing with different exit scoop shapes, and see
if that helps.
Basically, ensure that whatever air goes in the cowling, goes through your
rads, and then out the exits. No place else.
I made a system work that a few told me wouldn't. It can be done. It just
requires that you revisit it with new ideas and attention to detail to get
it right.
Mine works, but I'm in the SDS position right now. I feel I'm right on the
edge of acceptable, and it can be better. Still working it out, little by
little.

I am running a turbo nsi. Yes, cooling was a big problem. Is your nsi
radiator a deep aluminum? The one for the turbo is much larger than the
stock nsi radiator. I had to whack my cowl up and put in scoops and exit
vents. Plus I put cowlings on both of the radiators, oil and water. I also
blocked off the smiley cowl intake. The last flight all was good. It was
around 85 deg. outside during the test. Do you have pics of your install?

That one will not work. The aluminum one is twice as large. I like the way
you did your cowl. I was to far in by that time and the cooling was very big
problem. I just had to calc. frontal area and exit area and built some cowls
around the radiators. If I had to do it again and knew now what I do I would
put in what you did. You will need to move a lot of air and get rid of the
turbo and exhaust heat inside the cowl best you can. I will look around for
some pics of my mess that finally worked so far and put them on sportflight.
