The oil temp is still a bit high with the present prop. I&#8217;ll test the new prop before doing much more to the cooling baffles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Well&#8230; I fitted a Warp Drive prop and found a great improvement in performance, however the oil temps were still high and on one particular flight I ended up executing an off field landing. Minor damage to the undercarriage was sustained so it was back to the hangar to re-design the cooling.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">I am going to relocate the alternator and the tacho sender to allow more air to flow into the cylinder banks. I will also be relocating the oil cooler from the stock cooler position to a remote location on the bottom of the firewall.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a
