Dennis:  It’s been a long time since I’ve heard any updates on your great installation.  You stated you now have some “ ..700 hours and 8 years flying...” on it, which is a great accomplishment.  

if you get a chance could you post some performance numbers on it such as cruise speeds at various altitudes and and any fuel burn numbers associated with that.  

When I get back to working on my 9A w/13B in two years, I’ll first work to complete my oil/water radiator installations; and my setup is based on your layout from 8+ yrs. ago.  With that in mind: 

1). Is your set up still working well for you?
2). Have you changed anything on the cooling layout since I last saw it at Paducah, or is there anything on it you would modify at this point if you were starting over again?  

I still have my exhaust to complete as well when I get back it; so any pictures of your new configuration would be appreciated, or a web site address to view them at.  Your original exhaust set up seemed to be the quietest one on the planet back in the day; so how does your new one compare to that?

Thanks for any info.
