I've not recieved any mail for 24 hrs so this is a test and up-date.

I've modified my inlet to smooth the flow to the radiators and feed the engine induction seperatly from the cooliing inlet.
Bobby Hughes had an aluminum oil pan available so I installed it. The pan is a wedge and all the oil is below the 1/2 inch mounting plate.  I've got the oil 3/4 inch below the mounting plate with 6 quarts in the pan.
I now am using 125-50W Moble 1 and 10 % antifreeze in the cooling water with 1 tablespoon of liquid soap.

Hope to fly this evening or tomorrow.
