Subject: [FlyRotary] Re-build finished,
cooling fixed
I just finished rebuilding my engine and got everything back
together. Still have the same rough running at idle, but at least now
the radiator gets hot like it should. It sure was nice to finish an
engine run-up that didn't end in coolant spraying all over me and the
plane. Hardly any in the first expansion bottle either (let alone the
other one).
It wasn't my favorite way to spend my Spring vacation, but
I could think of worse things as well.
Thanks for everyon's
support.

Great to hear, Dave
Persistence is the key without
doubt. Its amazing how much cooling you get with all that gunk
gone. Now onward to that first lift off.
