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.
