A great day for sure! A lot of work and $$ coming to successful launch. Unless you make the cooling system capacity considerably greater than you need at cruise, you will always run a cooling deficit during climb - high power, low airspeed. So long as it doesn't exceed your limits and cools off once sufficient airspeed is reach, you should be fine Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Haverlah" To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 10:23 PM Subject: [FlyRotary] First Flight - Renesis in RV-7A >I made my first flight this evening!!
