Way to go Todd, plane looks fantastic setup like that.

Please do share a copy of that graphic, would be good to help keep this

As a bit of an update I flew again for first time in couple of years last
Sunday. Liquid cooling was very good with belly mounted rad, oil still just
a bit too warm at 235 on takeoff but lots better than in the past, so
thinking just going to run a coolant tube as a quick heat exchanger through
pan like Tracy did originally.
