Larry, funny you should mention that, I think my cooling system will need
some tweaking because it's barely acceptable now in the winter. It just
approaches (a conservative) redline after extended climbout, then goes right
back down after leveling off. Also, I've just been emailing Pat from
CONTACT! magazine regarding my subscription and asked if there were a lot of
good cooling examples in Vol II. I have Vol I and it's great, so I was just
going to get Vol II. These are good reading regardless, lots of examples of
autoconversion homebuilts.
Bill, I'd appreciate that writeup on your annual. It's only a matter of
time before the rest of us will be doing that and it would be a great help.

- chipping away at the 40 hours. 12 hours and all's well. It's tough
getting much time in the winter while working. I need to change my work
hours and try to get to the airport at sunrise to get some flying in before
work.

Bill,
Thanks for your views on the fuel line de-icer. Likewise I've never seen any
sign of water either .... seems almost odd to me in an aluminum tank???. The
only other plane I owned had a plastic tank and we never had to check for
water, matter of fact the darn thing didn't even have a fuel drain in it.
Thanks for thinking of us Stratus guys once again, an like Gary I to will be
looking forward to your rebuilding write up.
And Gary good news ........ the days are now getting longer!
Now it's off to fight the Mall crowd one last time!
