That is exciting. 150' must be some sort of record. You should send that to Van's and claim that it is a side benefit of the extremely low weight of the rotary. ;-) Dave Leonard I have to admit that the thermostat is a valuable feature of the stock cooler. With the warm temps that we still have, warm-up time is not an issue, but I imagine that will change when winter (such as it is) gets here. Cheers, Rusty (Hoping Tracy's field dried up enough for departure) I second the value of the oil cooler thermostat. I managed to takeoff on Friday in the 700 feet of dry runway with no problem. Had hoped that dry part would be longer today when I returned but no soap. Then to make things worse, I got paranoid about over-running into the water on landing and touched down about 100 feet short of my intended spot. Huge rooster tails and tail came up a little in the sudden stop but no damage. Total landing roll was only about 150 feet. Wonder if that's what a carrier landing is like?
