Summer temperatures and cooling

Installed.

Safety wired up on top.

Now I'm working on the rear baffles. If the super tin was just better, we wouldn't have to do anything.

Yesterday at lunchtime I went flying to do a little acro. First time since February or so. I went up to 6000', from a field elevation of 850. My rear cylinders maxed out at about 300F during the climb. After a while I swapped the display to the front CHTs and let the readings stabilize. Front right was 320F. It seems the baffling I added is doing something. I left the corner baffles off the front assuming they had lots of air from their close proximity to the cowl openings. It appears they would benefit from the same treatment.
