Hello Net I hope the KR net is up. I only see one post and that is unusual. Today was another full day at the airport. I installed a good control for the waste gate; tightened some fuel lines; reconnected the cabin heat; reinstalled all scat tubing; safety wired my gasolator; and adjusted th

Hello Net. After a foggy start today, then came the heat. I did not fly. I worked on diverting more cooling air to the oil cooler, which seems to want to heat up pretty fast with the turbo. I installed my second verturi and that exercise lasted most of the day, especially after my old car br

Hello Net Well, it's all buttoned up and no place to go. Fog again this morning and early afternoon. As the fog lifted, the temp went up rapidly. I decided to give up for today. When I left the airport, the Temp was 83 and the humidity was not far behind. I did manage to tweak a few things
