|  |  | I made my eight flight today, and I'm happy to report that my inlet scoop augmentation on the Cozy did the trick.
 I flew only about 1/2 hour because I had some other work that I wanted to do
 on it, but the temperatures ran at 190 coolant, and 200 oil.
 I climbed up a couple thousand feet, and instead of  throttling back and
 watching my temperatures come back down from 210/220, I wasn't quite up to a
 stabilized temperature yet.  That was a big change.  I pulled power back to
 what I had been running previously, and the temperatures stayed the same,
 maybe dropped a little.  I then throttled up to zero boost, and the
 temperatures held.  YEAH !!!!!  They used to climb up with the throttle.
 On the decent to landing, I thought that I would have to chip the ice off of
 the engine.  Coolant dropped almost off the gauge to about 140, and oil down
 to 160.  Actually when I touched down, they were even lower than that.
 
 Now that I know that I can cool it, I'm going to make another scoop,
 narrower on the sides, but a little taller (actually lower) to get a little
 further outside the boundary layer.  The next scoop will have a smaller
 inlet area compared to the current one.
