By the way, how is your repair coming along?  I understand that you are
taking a stand down period, but hope you get back into the air soon.  (I
presume you will use a different make oil cooler).

Ed, since a number of people have asked about my project, I'll give you the
current status. After my 2 incidents caused by the same type oil cooler which I
am embarassed to admit that I used very poor judgement, I got a lot of "advice"
from my brother (also an engr and pilot). This caused my wife to really give me
a hard time over the rotary engine to the point that I decided to have a cooling
off period, plus I had worked solidly thru the previous 4 summers on the plane.

I believe that things have settled down enough that I can now resume work on the
plane. Since I was due for an annual, I have removed the engine/psru, and will
inspect it to ensure that it is a-ok. Also, the Mazda oil cooler is going into
the wing (out of the engine compartment) which is more easily accomplished with
the engine out of the plane. I expect it to have it back in the air 1st qtr of
next year.

Thx for asking and good luck with your project.

regards, Chuck H
