N988EB 2nd Flight

Second flight of N988EB, Sonerai IILS after enlarging the cowl outlet a bit.
This time no airspeed at all - I had accidentally disconnected the pitot connection on the inside of the cockpit. So landing a little fast. The oil temp issue is better this time - but needs more cooling.

Excellent! That means the other one is for sale!?!?

[@edbell3631]

That’s probably right - but I want to get a few hours in first to make sure! The red one is pretty well dialed in and a lot of fun to fly

Will the IILS still fit in your enclosed trailer with the wings folded?

[@edbell3631]

Yes! That’s how I got it to the airport. It’s 18” longer, but still fits

So, how were the engine temps this flight?

[@edbell3631]

Still too hot but better. I saw 220 on the down wind- about 10 degrees cooler than the first flight. My goal is to get down to 180 - 190 using a bigger oil cooler and a thermostat.

No airspeed at all in this video - yikes! (This would have been an aborted take-off for me) ... just saw your notes though...you know! 😁
