Pietenpol-List: Cooling eyebrows

Hello good people,I think I touched on this a bit ago, but here goes again.RE-PIET was built without cooling eyebrows because I loved the cleancylinder look. Based on the Rose Parkeet design, a UK piet and some others,that cooling would be sufficient without them. To ck the temps, I installeda temp CHT.To make a long story short, RE-PIET now has cooling eyebrows...Even in moderate fall temps, the CHT would climb too high during a longclimb, which made me doubtful they'd remain okay when summer rolled around.I made a set of eyebrows and installed intercylinder baffling and haveenjoyed good temps ever since.I've attached before and after pics.That's my story, your mileage may vary.$.02Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
