Lunch served at 12:00. We won't be tubing because the river is butt-draggin' low (no rain in weeks here) but will enjoy food and fellowship through the afternoon. Wx looks good. Come join us - we have extra food :-) No Unicomm this year - just come on in to 12VA--- www.airnav.com--- for navigational details. Land on "32" - the runway is the brown (usually green, but not this month) strip between the hayfields. See ya!

I'm wondering about cooling the engine. The 2 main things that steal cooling air form the engine are the oil cooler and the take-off for the cabin heat. 1- I certainly don't need cabin heat in Arizona in June. If I block off the opening in the baffles that is plumbed to the heat muff, no air will circulate thru the heat muff. Is that OK? Will that stretch of exhaust pipe get too hot? Is that what most folks do in the summer? 2- I did the oil cooler installation on the baffles behind cylinder #4. I used the Stewart Warner 7 row oil cooler, so I expect it to be pretty effective; that is, I doubt it needs the full opening that it has. Will I do better to block off, say, 1/3 of that to start with, or should I leave it wide open and just see what happens on the first flight? -- Tom Sargent, RV-6A, ready for inspection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
