REFLECTOR:Cooling a canard

[Scott]

Plugged up two more small holes in the baffling this morning and flew to Santa Fe and back.  

Leaving Grants it was about 70 degrees. Climbed to 9500, from 6500, Cyl temp's were 320 when I leveled off, oil temp was 190.  Leaned to about 60 LOP, turning 2710(avg), burning 9.6gph.  indicated was 160 to 165 knots. ground speed was 185 to 190, I had a tail wind.

The cyl temp's stabilized at 335(the hottest), oil at 198.

Landed 35 minutes later and had a coke. Got back in engine was already hot, long taxi and about a 2 minute wait at the hold short line.

Leaving SAF it was about 75 degrees took off from 6300, leveled off at 10500, cyl temp's were 345, oil was 205.  Leveled off, leaned to 50 LOP, turning 2740, indicating 160KIAS, 9.6gph.

In cruise Cyl temp's fluctuated from 336 to 344(hottest), oil gage glued to 201.

Looks pretty good, except for my one cylinder that is running the hottest, 3 are running at 305-310, it runs at 340, its #2, rear right hand side.

GAMI lean test this week, though I can run 100 LOP with no stumbling. With the EI of course. Dual mags, no way.
