Does anyone have any pics that show Tracy's old intake scoop, the one
on top of the cowl?  If you do, could you send them my way ASAP.  I'm
still looking for ideas for the scoop that I need to start making
tomorrow.   I managed to put 2.1 hours on the plane today, with only undercowl air
as my inlet.  The temp at the TB was 115 according to one of my spare
thermocouples.  The fuel flow reading is way out to lunch, so that
will be another project.  Unfortunately, the TAS reading comes out to
be 12 mph higher than what the GPS averages.  I've wondered how Tracy
was getting such good numbers to report :-)
 
Oil temps are still up, and I can't blame this on the EM-2 because I
checked the sensor again, and it's spot on at 200 degrees.  I found
that some of my foam that seals the cowl to the oil cooler has
shifted, crushed, or worn in, and there was almost 1/8" of gap on both
sides of the cooler.  I added another strip on each side, and it makes
a nice seal now, so we'll see if that makes any difference.  Sure hope
so.  The oil temp is limiting my climb ability now, so I'll need to
make some progress on this in the near future.

 
The good news is that the CD player works well.  Listened to ZZ-Top at
10,500 feet :-)   Thanks,
Rusty (more cal ahead)
