Got my plane back in the air after 5 weeks of down time for annual
and little fixes.  I've always had a peculiar smell in the cockpit,
was especially strong today.  I think it's outgassing from the 10
feet or so of the 5/8 automotive coolant hose I have in the cockpit
that runs to the cabin heat radiator.  Would probably be better to
use aluminum tubing for these long runs anyway.  Just thought I would
mention it in case someone is thinking of using this stuff in the
cockpit.  Will probably be switching to aluminum sometime soon.
