No openings inthe nose cone, no cooling problems, and we are in south Texas where 95Fin the summertime is considered a cool day.Like Jack, I think I have only seen 180F on the oil temp one time on myA75 and that was in the middle of the summer after a climb to 4500', withless than 20 hours on the engine since major overhaul so it was (and is)still quite tight. Most of the time it will settle around 160 in levelcruise, but it takes a while to get to that temp in cooler weather.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________

I guess I'm confused. What do you mean "no openings in the nose cone?" Most of the aircooled engines I have seen on Aircampers have the "rabbit ears" above the cylinders and heads to direct cooling air down through the engine.Chuck----- Original Message -----

ChuckWhat I am referring to as the nose cone is the front most section of the enginecowl. Your reference to "rabbit ears" is whats commonly known as Cub style "eyebrows"which are shown in the attachment.Thanks to all for your feedback and it appears that a cutout in the nose cone isnot required.--------Adrian MWinnipeg, MBCanadaRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Looks like the cockpit of an F104.Do you ever notice deviation on your compass due to the proximity of the GPS?Or interferance on your radio due to the proximity of the GPS?I had my radio antenia about 3 ft away from my GPS antenia and when the GPS was on you couldn't here anything but hash from the radio.

Dan, I was very surprised to see that the Stewart company is in Cashmere Washington. Several years ago I was restoring a PA22 and turning it into a taildragger, PA20. A fellow, Doug Stewart, in Cashmere had already been through the same problems I was having and he helped me a lot in my restoration. Mary and I met Doug and Rava at a short-wing Piper club annual flyin in Michigan and got to know them fairly well. Later Mary and I were on a round-the-country trek in our truck and trailer and passed through Cashmere and visited with Doug and Rava. Of course, we went flying in his PA20 both times we met. Cashmere is not big enough to have two unrelated Stewart families so the Stewart company almost has to be his family. Do you know the background of the company and whether it's Doug or maybe a son who started it? I would like to call Doug but would really like to find out if it is his family's business before I call. Thanks, Chuck ----- Original Message -----
