OK Chris, just to save you from excess parenthood, here's what little
flying stuff I've been doing.

 I'm still working on RV-8 oil cooling in my occasional spare hours.
Very strange problem that I haven't fully understood yet.  I'm at the
point where I plan to move the oil cooler to a different location.
Will talk more about it after I get it fixed.
Need a new pre-pump fuel filter.  The Jegs filter started restricting
flow (shows up as fuel pressure) at high throttle after 23 hours with
only a small amount of debris in it. (it can be disassembled for
cleaning).

I love the airplane though.  Feels very 'muscular'.  ROC of 3600 fpm
with a FP cruise prop.  Exceeds VNE in level flight without even
breathing hard.
