I concur with checking your temp gauge. Many bad and expensive decisions
have been made using incorrect oil temperature gauges/probes. Better
that it's reading high than low however.
I fight oil temps every summer with my GP2180. I've also got the Jet
Coat pipes and a standard VW oil cooler. I

General practice is to seperate antennas by three wavelengths or more..
In this case, 36 inches will work (>3 wavelengths of the transponder
signal). Norma

I had my Transponder antenna inside my fuselage behind the seat. When the plane
was facing the ATC antenna they could not receive the Transponder, When I
changed my heading they would receive it. I left it there for about 6 months
and 3 cross country trips ( Florida, New Mexico, Illinois all fro

I know a fellow who built a composite airplane got it flying and would start to
feel sick during longer flights. With some digging and thinking he realized the
transponder antenna was mounted under his seat and that is what made him feel
sick. I

One other thought..In the VW Bug, isn't the finned oil pan subject to
cooling air (separate from the Cooling for the jugs) from under the
vehicle as it drives? If thats so , then it stands to reason that mayby
they should have it in the planes also. i know that lots or perhaps
NONE of the plan
Jeff. Is your Carb air intake sealed to the air filter so as not to let
any of that air into the lower cowel at all?

Jeff - I have some information attributed to John Thorp (but I can't point
you to the source). He indicated that the total inlet size in sq inches
should be the hp *.35. The exit air needs to be 2.5 times the exit air. I
too had some oil cooling problems on my c-85 and found the exit air plays

I am still struggling with high oil temps. 230/240. I have done several things
to lower under cowling temps including completely redoing my baffles (again)
which included care and concern around the standard oil cooler which is mounted
in standard location on top of motor. ( GPAS 2180 VW)

I'll keep you informed about future events. By the Way, I notified
the FCC about that interference we had on the way back from i39. They
were VERY concerned, but will likely need more folks to report it so
they can locate that guy.
If anyone has any radio interference form CB or other
will probably be on a Boy Scout bike ride. if for some reason it gets
cancelled I will try to make it. may have to drive. Was at the hangar
yesterday and discovered a fuel leak in the plane. mechanic can't even look at
it until friday. I doubt it will be ready by the weekend.

To put that into perspective, that would be an extra 20 pounds of useful
