     Hi Ed,  I do appreciate your offer and at the appropriate time I may well take you up on it, you do beautiful work.  Right now I have too many things on the plate to start with a clean
     sheet on the cooling system, especially now that project "Shady Bend West" in Colorado is under way (elevation 8000 msl).

     The current system is not perfect but presents no real-world limitations.  If the OAT is above 95, I do limit the climb rate but over 1000 fpm is available at any time.  2650 fpm is what I
     get under standard day conditions.   I also scrupulously observe the 210 F oil & water redline which many say is too conservative but I've never had to replace the oil control O-rings and
     want to keep it that way.
