Six weeks ago I began a one week project to change
the oil
cooler system on the RV-3.
Richard who? :-)
How I miss those days of cowling mods...
(NOT)
Maybe
you can remember some similer ground runs,
Rusty.
All the data I recorded
is in the flight log document on the CD I gave you.
Unfortunately, it's going to be virtually impossible to make any comparisons on
a test like this. I was never able to run full throttle without
overheating pretty quickly, but I wouldn't expect to be able to either.
The setup that you have
for cooling has a lot of extra safety margin built in, so you should certainly
be good for a flight around the pattern. Evan's ain't gonna boil, and oil
temps can go to 240 F or so temporarily without harm.
I hope you realize this
voids your warranty :-)
Rusty (as if you had one
<g>)
