I agree with Tracys findings below regarding the size of the coolant
overflow bottle.  I build a 1 pint one integrated with my header tank.  I
found that it would frequently overflow with the lose of a small amount of
coolant (which would require refurbishment after a few flights).  I put a 2
quart plastic overflow bottle and now have no coolant lost.

Moral of the story:  Use a coolant recovery bottle larger than 1 quart.  I
just installed a 1.5 liter bottle.  Will flight test this setup tomorrow.
