REFLECTOR: Smooth running Customized TSIO520

[Scott Derrick]

Kurt,

I finally feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!  I'm 
more and more sure this spring will see me flying again. I'm looking 
forward to putting our two beasts to the test! Interesting the similar 
HP ratings of out respective engines!

The cooling plenum has been occupying me of late. Every time I add or 
remove a bit more fiberglass I find another place that needs something.. 
  I really like working with composites but its a slow process..  Apply, 
cure, sand, apply cure, sand, ad infinitum!
