New Ladder For Refueling - Flew For 1/2 Hour

 Everything cooperated today and I got to fly for a half hour on a warm sunny afternoon.  The motor ran fine, about 20 degrees cooler, not what I had hoped but better.  My next plan is to start trimming the outlet skirt shorter in 1/2" increments.  Take off 1/2", fly it and repeat as needed until it's as cool as I would like or starts getting hotter.  My theory is that it's so long we're getting flow curling off it and blocking flow out.  We'll see.

I also got to try out the new ladder my son Wade and his wife Melanie got me for Christmas.  Now I can see in the filler neck so I don't overfill it so easily. It's the right height, has a good hand hold, and has wheels for easy moving around, cool.  All fueled up ready for the next nice day.
