Its really handy being based at such a busy small strip like Priory Farm as many people pop by and we have a wealth of great knowledge across all sorts or skills around light aircraft.
One such ‘pop in’ is Clive who has great experience of Jabirus and spotted that one of my cooling ducts had a gap at the back that you could just squeeze your fingers through.
This would mean that the air, being squeezed through the front cowl ducts would effectively whizz through..and, having got a ‘shiny’ new multiple 4 way CHT monitor .. I can see that Rear Left Cylinder Head (number 4) is running colder that the others
Clive.. very kindly said he would drop some heat resistant padding next time he was passing .. fast forward to last weekend and in zooms a lovely slick RV .. and touches down at Priory .. out steps Clive with 4 pieces of this rubber of varying sizes! What a gentleman !
Duly secured .. will monitor the difference before adding more… small steps and check each step 😉
