thank you for asking, we did a first engine run aabout 6 weeks ago, during the run we bulged left side of the front ring oil cooler. After talking it was decided to send the oil cooler to pacific oil for replace or repair, they ended up building us a total new ring cooler. The best thing is that the new cooler is 1/2" thick and alum in place of the smaller cooper cooler thst came with the plane. The new cooler arrived this monday and we look to do our engine runs next week and fly the following week.
I am pushing hard to get the plane done and get my check out so I can get this plane flying after 3 years

I think it is one of the new build Flug Werke 190's and belongs to dano.

Congrats on the engine runs. It looks great.
