Dear Paul
         If Tracy would want it. I would build a custom system for him instead of the system he has which doesn't work. I make the offer he has to say yes or no. I think Tracy's time is too
valuble
to be going round and round with a system that doesn't work
                                                                                                                                          >Regards  Ed

Gee guys,  before defining my cooling system as one which 'doesn't work', please consider that it has been flying successfully for 11 years and 1400+ hours.  Also consider that my last Renesis
progress report was written after the first flight test (1 hour).  If you have ever developed an aircraft engine installation, you will appreciate that it takes a bit longer than that to optimize
things.

I haven't had a chance to update the website but I have a total of 5 hours on the Renesis and have a long list of things to do.  It took 2 weeks to correct the first thing on the list (improve water
pump inlet plumbing).  This has been completed and the plane is ready to flight test as soon as these blasted hurricanes leave.  I can't even begin to evaluate the new intake system until all the
other squawks are addressed.
