As you said it's been a silent summer so far, not the usual over heating problems being discussed. Even mine seems to be under control this year with no hick-ups to mention. Flew to a small fly-in last weekend at a local grass strip were some GA planes and UL's were having breakfast. As usual the Zodiac made everyone put down their food and come over to investigate my strange looking bird. Doesn't take long for the usual question to arise ........ "what you got in it for a engine?" Once they hear the crowd grows larger begging to get a closer look. Had to give a few rides, and everyone commented on the planes power, yet on how smooth and quite the engine ran. The only other Stratus in my area is Larry Mc, who has been down most of the summer working on painting his HDS. Hope your summer has been a fun one also, Kelly Meiste 601 HD (147 hours) Do not achieve ----- Original Message ----- From: "K4COD" Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 10:39 PM Subject: Stratus-List: Stratus-List > --> Stratus-List message posted by: "K4COD" > > Is no one sending anything to this list anymore, or is their something > wrong with my subscription?

Maybe everyone is out flying all summer. Mine has been running great. I improved my cooling well enough for TX, and cleaned up after the dipstick spill. Since then it's just been nice cruising around the area.

Did you have to go to an oil cooler?

I unsubscribed from the Zenith list but kept the Stratus. Since I rededicated my life to Gof, I haven't flown as much, practicing and trying to hit that little white ball, but I was pleased this morning with my temps in the hot Texas weather. Went to a breakfast in Jefferson, Tx. I will continue to subscribe to this list.

I has been hot upper 80's to 90 but I have had no problems with my cooling system. The water temperature goes to 190 and stays there. In a long full power climb out the oil temperature will just get to 260. I am impressed with the acceleration with the Suburu, at full power I am to 50 mph is a flash. So far the engine has 11.3 hours on it 10 hours testing on the ground and 1.3 in the air and it hasn't missed a beat yet.

It sounds like you're getting close. Remember that this engine is one that you can run or tune with the prop removed. I take mine off each time I go for a check of timing or carb adjustments etc. Much safer. Gets the Lyc and Continental guys excited when they see this being done.
