N19VX took to the air for first flight on Thursday with two more today. Airplane
flys fine and engine is performing, oil cooler (which provides 40% cooling in
a rotary) is working fine. Coolant temps are running higher than desired.

It has been very educational installing an alternate engine. Thanks to Tracy Crook
for all his pioneering that has made it practical for a novice to do it. The
rotary list has been very helpful also. 

The engine is a 13B built up for aero-conversion by Bruce Turrentine. Tracy gearbox,
electronic control,exhaust, and engine monitor. Fred Breeze built the engnie
mount.

A very understanding wife, Vans, and many others have pitched in to bring it to
this point.

Bernie, hoping to fly it to Lakeland (inside my flyoff zone :>)
