Brian,
Do you have pictures with the cowlings off? I would like to see
your setup!

We ran the plane on the ground, taxied about 1/2 mile, for a total
of about 30-40 minutes, the outside temperature was 60, and the highest the oil
or water got was 160. Hopefully it will work well in flight. I will get around
to refining the inlet and sides of the scoop sometime this winter.

Always a smart thing to do, Brian - if conditions aren't
perfect - especially for that first flight. You don't need any weather
distractions. Looking forward to seeing how your P-51 cooling set up
works. I was thinking as you were taxing that perhaps having the inlet
underneath the airframe in vicinity of the ground might cause more air to flow
into it than say my nose mounted ducts during ground operations.

Fwd: a few videos from this weekend
I planned to do the first flight
this weekend, but wather and a bad headset jack postponed it. Here is some
video of the almost joyous occasion.
