I used a 3/4" long piece of 3/8" I.D. plastic tubing on the LS and then the tubing
from Stein slipped right over the plastic tubing. Slit both of them and then
zip tie them. Made a very simple, tight, firm connection.

| Subject: | Re: static lines |
At one point someone gave me some leftover pitot stuff (not sure where it came
from). It had crappy connectors - nothing metal and sorry cheap plastic. Anything
that looked cheesy went straight into the trash as this system needs to be
reliable (my wife always asks!).
I ordered the safeair1 kit from www.safeair1.com/index.htm. Nice stuff... but I have dual GRT AHRS and needed additional fittings than were supplied. Most of what was needed, I found (and ordered) from McMaster-Carr. Also ended up ordering a couple of multi-manifold fittings from Stein although McMaster has some too.
It's best to inventory everything and then figure out what's missing before going
crazy ordering stuff. The attached diagram helped.

I think I have my high oil temps problem under control finally. I previously
had added a high capacity oil cooler on the right side but still was seeing
temps climbing too high now that summer is upon us. I added 2
non-retractable cowl flaps on the bottom. The rectangular opening in the
cowl is 4 x 9 inches. The opening at the rear is 2 x 4 inches. They are
non-retractable because the mufflers would interfere. This seems to be a
final fix. I'll try it tomorrow with daytime temps at 111. Good thing KNYL
is at 216'.

I did some flying this weekend. I flew from Fort Worth (very hot) to Meadow
Lake (near Colorado Springs, very high) and back. I have a IO-540D4A5 with
the standard Van's installation (plus some added louvers just forward of the
stock louvers). I have had high temperature problems with the cylinder heads
and the oil in the past while flying this same route. As a technique on this
trip I climbed at 2500 RPM with full rich mixture. My average rate of climb
to 10500'/11500' was about 1000 fpm. The average fuel burn rate was 20 gph.
I climbed at around 105 KIAS. That is a high fuel flow, however, I only
burned about 3 gallons getting to altitude. The good news is, my CHTs stayed
below 400 and the oil stayed around 200 for the climb. This will be my climb
technique until I have a chance to look at additional cowl modifications.

I'm looking for two posts from around April of this year. One is about the Staniforth
Latch on the doors, and the other was an alternative that involved welding
a "t" onto the handle that went below the rail when closed.
Have these worked out? And, would you recommend it/them?

What size tube bender do you guys recommend. I am about to bend the
brake lines and that looks to be 1/4. How about further down the line
for bending other lines.

| Subject: | Re: High Oil temps |
The recent hot weather has certainly provided a good test environment
for our cooling issues.
I am running Van's oil cooler and the stock cowling outlets and a stock
D4A5 with a single Lightspeed. I usually climb at 2600/full rich and
115 KIAS. Prior to this trip, in hot weather, I was seeing an occasional
400-410 on cyls 1 & 6. 1st. mod was to open the gap on the wrap around
exit cylinder head baffles of 1 and 6 by about .500 inches. and I
removed the right side front cylinder air dam.
This past week I departed Salt Lake City and climbed direct to 13,000 in
ISA +35 conditions. Cyls 1 & 6 were running in the 390's. I have not
had much of a problem with the oil temp. Under these conditions if I
remember correctly it went to 190 ish in the climb and then back down to
180 in cruise.
I am still wrestling with fuel injector balance as the engine runs more
rough than I would like at more than 20-30 LOP. At this high altitude
and high temp I ended up running about 50 ROP to get the cyls all below
380.
Just another data point I guess.
