REFLECTOR: oil temp problems solved

[Jack Sheehan]

Mack,
Yes I kind of knew that based on the SB but I would never have 
thought that an almost inperceivable defect in the seat would make 
any difference in temperature. But it did. I am sure for winter 
operations I will have to  close off the rear cooler.
I was out in your neighborhood last week at the AEA show in Reno. My 
wife and I drove down thru Virginia city to Carson City and went by 
Dayton ( signs). Nice country.
