Hey Bob, I knew I forgot something!! Thanks for the reminder:

14. The Saito 82 had no overheating probs with the holes in the cowl per my pic in post #610.

It is indeed a nice sod farm we fly OVER. Our club rents an area for a 250' x 40' runway, pit area, and parking area. When the sod farm is like you see, it makes it ok to land short or long. During the months it is being harvested, tilled, irrigated, etc, we have to know how to land or pay dearly for it. I have seen many a plane wrecked by sprinkler heads and windrows.

Hope you get warm weather soon so you can fly yours too! Jon
