What was the speed? ground speed? IAS? TAS? at what altitude and outside temp?

Thanks for the email.... and yes, up to yesterday, I flew everyday... at least once. I also ordered a cooler from Alex... should be here this week. Will let you know the difference. Also thinking of some other mods.
Your trip sounds great. Wish we were with you. Soon.
By the way, after my first 2 landings,,,,, greased them,,,, I installed all the pants and fairings. I will admit that I left them off just in case I did a booboo. But so far with over 30 landings, its been a complete nonissue!
It's a little hard for those who know me to believe how conservative I am with the plane. I did manage to see 187 knots at one point early on, but the temps here have me way off that mark.
Take care and have fun..... Don and Kim

Don,
Congratulations again. You have really been putting in the hours since you got back. Keep us posted on your temperature problem. Being in TX it gets stinking hot here in the summer and I am a bit concerned about my temps. I ordered an AirFlow oil cooler thru Alex. It has more cooling surface area but has the same footprint. The common solution to heat is adding more vent louvers. That seems so inelegant and I'm hoping that your agile mind will come up with a better fix. So there is a challenge for you!
Wendy and I are in the mountains of CO with the RV-6 and on our way to Yellowstone and then Johnson Creek, ID. Sure wish I had the 10 completed because it is crowded in the 6 with all the camping gear.
You need to get those gear leg fairings on so you can go really fast!

I don't think adding louvers is an inelegant solution at all. If the
lower cowl does not have enough outlet area it does not have enough
outlet area. Since we are not incorporating cowl flaps into the -10
either adding louvers or cutting back a portion of the lower cowl are
ones only real options to increase said opening. Of these I prefer
adding the louvers as their design (not the vans louvers) may help suck
the air out the bottom of the cowl.
An inelegant solution is having to add the louvers after the plane had
been painted. Both inelegant and painful!

For what it's worth, my bird has just the stock Van's louvers and my
cooling is working fine.
Good baffling and sealing upper side (like Tim suggested) and climb at
120kts works fine.

It's always a good idea to leave the pants off during the first 15 hours or so to make it easier to keep an eye on the wheels & brakes. Also, it makes it a lot easier to slow down if you're new to the plane.

Southern, middle TN where last summer's temps were in 90's with
occasional bump into 100's.
When it's hot, you have to watch the climb speeds as they are key to
cooling.
I try to fly in cooler part of day due to ground cockpit heating as
much as anything.

When to put the pants/fairings on... that is the question, I intended to
leave them off for most of Phase 1, I was having heating issues early in
to the testing. and became frustrated as most of the 'solutions' yielded
little to no relief. Sine the temps were still well within Lcy's range,
a friend advised me to 'just get on with it and enjoy your airplane, the
temps will take care of themselves. If they aren't better in 25-30 hours
look at it again. I took his advice, and the 1st thing I did was to put
the pants and fairings on. the next flight showed a dramatic drop in
temps. I had 13 hours on the engine by that time and I believe the
engine was 'broke in' as oil consumption had stabilized. It's my opinion
that the added airspeed with the pants/fairings on has a significant
effect on the cooling by increasing the air pressure and flow rates
around the cylinders and through he oil cooler. If some of you are
having temp issues and have not yet put your pants/ fairings on give it
a try and see if your experience is similar.

Thanks for the email.... and yes, up to yesterday, I flew everyday... at least once. I also ordered a cooler from Alex... should be here this week. Will let you know the difference. Also thinking of some other mods.
Your trip sounds great. Wish we were with you. Soon.
By the way, after my first 2 landings,,,,, greased them,,,, I installed all the pants and fairings. I will admit that I left them off just in case I did a booboo. But so far with over 30 landings, its been a complete nonissue!
It's a little hard for those who know me to believe how conservative I am with the plane. I did manage to see 187 knots at one point early on, but the temps here have me way off that mark.
Take care and have fun..... Don and Kim
Ps. we may be paying you a visit later this month or next.

Don,
Congratulations again. You have really been putting in the hours since you got back. Keep us posted on your temperature problem. Being in TX it gets stinking hot here in the summer and I am a bit concerned about my temps. I ordered an AirFlow oil cooler thru Alex. It has more cooling surface area but has the same footprint. The common solution to heat is adding more vent louvers. That seems so inelegant and I'm hoping that your agile mind will come up with a better fix. So there is a challenge for you!
Wendy and I are in the mountains of CO with the RV-6 and on our way to Yellowstone and then Johnson Creek, ID. Sure wish I had the 10 completed because it is crowded in the 6 with all the camping gear.
You need to get those gear leg fairings on so you can go really fast!

Don that’s amazing. When you going to come visit all us RVers at the Nut Tree I will buy lunch. Just give me a call and we can work out the logistics.

I was at 5,460', 25sq, IAS 183, OAT 80, ground speed 215. Was really focussing my attention on oil temps, cht's, and egt's.
