I have the standard Positech cooler and Van's standard firewall forward kit setup.
This morning I re-examined my baffles and found a number of little gaps where
additional high temp RTV sealant would likely be useful so I plugged them
up. I will also cover over my cabin heat take-off with duct tape for the second
flight to see what that will do. Calibrating the oil temp probe with boiling
water is a great idea as suggested by another lister. I do have a little room
to raise the position of my oil cooler if that is necessary later on. Also,
I've learned that opening the lower cowl exit some more might be useful. Second
flight will be Friday morning after the RTV cures. Thanks to everyone for
all the online and offline congrats and advice.

I concur on the calibration of the oil probe. i did this and discoverd
that Dynon had calibrated their engine monitors to a different range. It
may be that the spec sheet for the probe was different to the actual
sensors who knows?
All the Dynon's now have a software fix for this. Maybe that other EFI
manufacturers made the same assumption.
My temp probe read 20deg F too high....Glad I found this.
Congrats...I'm about 2/3rds thru painting and I'll be into fianl
assembly at the hangar

Congrats on the flight. I would pay attention to the temps but not
make large changes till 25-30 hours or your confident the break-in has
occurred. Normal CHT s may not happen till 50 or more hours even though
the oil usage may subside. If you oil temps are high calibrate the
probes is warm oil not water. Cruise flight oil temps for me are 190
and the cooler is on the back of the #4
