Ok, maybe not but today I took 8830C up for its second,third and fourth flight and it flew nice and the landings were great. The CHt issue is much better with the hottest being #4 now at about 350. On the first flight # 6 was almost 400 and a little baffle on the back has now made it the coldest. We did about 5 mods to the cowling to get the warning light to stop, Jabiru Jim at Chandler airport has been great.
I do have the problem with not having enough up trim with flaps. With only 10deg of flaps I have to have full up trim. I remember some of you others having this problem. I will check the archives for the fix.
Thanks guys.

Great news Jack!

Regarding the flaps, I swapped out my trim tab for the new longer one. Didn't need to move the servo, so it was quite quick.

Also, I use less than half the flap travel (if at all).

Let us know about your cooling mods when you get it stabilized.

Cheers,

Lance- Hope you don't mind if I sneak in to your conversation. I am
considering doing the same thing regarding the larger trim tab. I am just
finishing up major repairs to my XL and your note was very timely. I'd
appreciate it if you could give me any additional info regarding the swap
you can. I have downloaded the instructions, but haven't ordered the parts
yet. Specifically- Is it possible to do the switch leaving the horizontal
stablizer on the plane?

So you left the servo between the two inboard ribs instead of moving it just
outboard of the center rib (as shown in the plans for the longer trim tab)?
No problems with the servo moving the longer tab from there?
