REFLECTOR: 2nd Oil Cooler

[Scott Derrick]

I did leave off the extension when I repaired the nose, and have noticed
no difference in cooling.  I think It looks better without the extension.

I flew back from Tahoe last Sunday, oil temp was steady at 206 in
cruise(50 LOP), high cyl was 350....  I'm happy with those temps.   I was
light, just me and full fuel.  Add a couple hundred more lbs and the temp
goes up a few degrees, weird huh?
