For the water system conditions, you may find the new West Tack gage of
interest .

The gauge displays the coolant system temperature and coolant pump

output

pressure (corrected for system pressure).   In addition the gauge
incorporates warning lights to indicate low coolant condition (yellow),

low

pump output pressure (red) and high system temperature (red).

The gauge is designed to fit in a standard 2.25" instrument mounting

hole. A

separate box containing the driving electronics is mounted in a

concealed

location behind the instrument panel.

In addition, electrical outputs are provided for each warning light
condition so as to allow an audible warning to also be provided

Long EZ in progress

Hi Keith, Are you working with those Cool Jugs guys hopefully?
How are they coming with the cooling system?
Last I saw of the test airplane it was sitting forlornly in
the Camarillo tie down area near the tower. I mean to go
by there every now and then to see what changes, if any, they
are making to the cooling system. They seemed a bit naive
about cooling systems when I talked to them at the last
Camarillo air show.

Hi Paul:

>From all I've learned "here" about aircraft radiator and cooling details, it
was clear that they could have cooling problems, and we discussed some of
the issues.

Note that Dick Rutan retrofitted his O-360 Long EZ to KoolJugs.  And when
not flying the X-Corr rocket EZ , he reports " I am still running the Kool
Jugs Liquid cooled cylinders and after some early Problems are working fine.
Even have some more pwr/speed about 6 kts IAS"

BTW, the  EZ Rocket is set up for a world Altitude Record, possibly Jan 22!
All the EZ guys are welcome to come and observe Dick.  see

That might be fun. A hop skip and a jump in the 182.
Remind me then. You want to ride with us?
