On Memorial Day, N821GL took to the sky. What an incredible experience! Water temp got up to 220 and oil peaked at 208 so there is room for improvement. I was throttled back most of the flight so a little more speed might help. I did push it up to 6200 and 140 MPH for a short bit. Water pressure peaked at 23 psi, so I cut the flight short. On post flight I found that water was being pushed past the cap on the radiator. And the can muffler radiates WAY to much heat. So it's on to rev B. Closing the radiator cap up and constructing a new exhaust system. I will post some pictures soon. Thanks to all that have paved the way!
