Test flight of new cowl setup went well. The Saito 84 & Keleo exhaust ran much cooler . Eliminating the cowl ring, opening cowl flaps, and positioning baffles aft of cylinder center-line seem to do the trick. Engine ran a little rich at 5700 rpm with 24x12 prop.
Zero climbed quite a bit...needed some down Elevator trim...about an 1/8th inch. Wondering if my CG is off and need to add more nose weight.
