Made engine runs on the 2180 VW with new cooling ducts. OAT 88 degrees F, all CHT at 320 degrees F, all EGT at 980 degrees F, oil temp at 150 degrees F - not really working hard. No leaks. Mixture set at 14.7 AFR Putting the newly painted cowl on now; fitting up nicely with 3/16-inch spinner clearance all around. BFR scheduled tomorrow morning. Good news - Piedmont has dropped the price on a VFR transponder check and cert to $125. Was $187. Operating within 60 NM of Washington DC: got to have it.
