From: "greghale" I have been suffering from high CHTs during the climb in Oklahoma's hot summer. I made a cowl flap installation that cured my high temps. I also made a simple and secure gust lock for the airplane when it is outside. Both of these ideas were copied from previous builders ideas - thanks Nick and Robin. I have supplied drawings for each for any that want to do the same.

From: Deems Davis Greg as usual you've engineered some great mods. Well Done! Regarding the gust locks. I began with a similar installation on a single side. After a weekend at an away airport w/ gusts up to 60mph, the brace had wobbled Up so that the unkeyed end came loose and subsequently tore the bracket. I ended up putting the brace on both side, and have the safety pins in 4 points. It's deal lock solid now.
