Beautiful weather this morning. 60 degrees , dry , light wind. Took 2 good data points I think. If the data holds up tonight when I scrub it, it appears that I am flowing a lot more air by the radiator than the lycoming puts over the fins. If that is true, than you would think the radiator should work fine . The 13B supposedly cools a higher percentage of the total with the oil cooler. The hot side oil cooler temps are only 220 max. The highest coolant temp was 210 when I climbed WOT from sea level to 3K. The test this morning was with the cowl flap clamped open. The stagation pressure minus the static in the radiator air intake was 6 in of water at 2600 feet and 101 knots indicated. It measured the same at 5K and115 knots.
Might fly again this pm with cowl flap closed if I get a nap.
Test flew and UL( an Odessy that has some major work done on it) today and took a passenger up in it
