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

Check out http://www.liquidcooledairpower.com/cj-gauges.shtml  for

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?

John Wayne is out of our way but if you meet me in LA you can go too.
I gots to fly through the LAX corridor to get to John Wayne. Pain.

too. Just tell me where and when.

I might not be able to go guys. I am planing a trip to Japan so that
might happen around Jan 25th. I would like to get a tour through
the rotary engine line at Mazda in Hiroshima.
