1st Flight!  Good to see you back in the air, Bernie.  Once you get your
gauges calibrated then you will know how much work on the cooling system may
be needed.  I suspect that once you get your oil temps down, your coolant
will follow by itself.  That is about what I had on my first flight oil
240F, coolant 220F.  Once I took care of the oil temps, the coolant temps
were OK.

Hope you can fly it to Sun & Fun - still awaiting return of my prop from
final finishing.
