Rich has it right. I installed the TCW oil cooler valve and it works perfectly.
The temps Rich mentioned are exactly right and its nice to be able to adjust
as needed in flight. I did it...and I would do it again. Only improvement I could
see is if it was handled automatically like your home thermostat. Set the
temp...and let the valve regulate to achieve the desired temp :)

I photo documented my use of the Bogi-bar as a gust control lock here

FYI.
It works for me.

Copied from my post on VAF:
We have been doing this for a little while as we learn how to use our new machine,
but I wanted to offer this service to users of VAF somewhat commercially,
to give my daughters a way to earn some $. They are homeschooled and love to see,
so they are excited about making shirts (and jackets/sweaters) for people.
This post has been edited, but the following are what we are offering.
2. Let people send me a shirt (or shirts) of their choosing along with a digital
picture of their airplane, which I would get digitized and embroider and mail
the shirts back. The digitizing costs $8-11/picture, plus something for the
legwork, plus the embroidery. This would be the easiest for you. There would,
obviously, be some economy of scale, so doing more shirts would cost less per
shirt to embroider, and the digitizing would be paid only once. The pricing for
this option would be the digitizing fee ($8-11), $10 for doing it then the same
fee as digitizing for each embroidery. Adding the N-number in large letters
(N104LG below) would add $3/shirt and medium letter (N674BD below) would add
$2/shirt. Shipping would be actual cost plus a small fee for handling, shipped
back in the packaging that you shipped it to us in. For 2-5 shirts, there would
be a $2 discount per shirt. For more than 5, there would be a $3 discount
per shirt. You could order shirts from an online store and have them shipped to
me, or you could buy them locally and ship them. Please make sure if you order
online that your name is in the address label somewhere.
3. Let people send me a shirt as well as get their own plane picture digitized
(following a very easy format), pay the digitizing fee themselves and just pay
me a per-shirt fee for the embroidery. The best option for me and the cheapest
for you. The cost for this is the same as Option 2 above, but you save the $10
fee I charge for doing the digitizing. It's a matter of sending an email with
the picture and a couple of data points that I can email you.
You can email me picture if you want me to digitize them (option 2). A good picture
is one with good light, preferably few shadows, that included the whole plane.
Usually a side shot or a front corner shot works best. If in flight, the
side or front corner and from a little above works best. If a tailwheel and on
the ground, we can do it level or in the ground position, but it would be best
if the picture matches how you want it to show. You can also tell us you want
it in the flying position and we can rotate it appropriately.
Send the shirts to Saint Aviation, 10575 SW 147th Circle, Dunnellon, FL 34432.
I will send a bill for the total after we have the shirts done and ready to go.
If you don't pay, I get to wear your shirts, so please make sure they at XL
if you don't plan to pay. :-)
Below are some samples that we have done, including a picture that one of them
was digitized from.

| Subject: | Manifold pressure with G3X |
Getting ready to hang the engine and trying to do as much as possible on the back
end first. My question relates to the Vans recommendation that the manifold
pressure line be connected to the port on cylinder #5. I have a used, overhauled
engine with the MP port on #6. The plug on #5 doesn't want to come out, at
least without extraordinary measures. So...is there a problem using #6 for the
MP line with the Garmin engine sensor system? If so, any suggestions about getting
the plug out of #5?
