Rusty,

I know what you mean by having your plane named for you. My EAA chapter named mine the Mean (not the ultralite or RV types they are building, I think six seats and 300 hp had something to do with it also) Green ( heavy corrosion) Drag Queen ( Avex rivets, struts, ski and float brackets hanging all over) .

Subject: [FlyRotary] Screamin' Demon

Greetings,

It seems the plane has been officially named. A couple guys came up to the hanger after my first flight, and called it the screamin' demon. I can live with that :-)

Here's today's log entry. A few really interesting cooling tests. I'm still trying to make sense out of some of this (see future questions) but it looks like I have more than double the radiator that I need. That will sure make the cowl repackaging easier. As for climb performance, it's minimally acceptable now :-)

Cheers,

Rusty
