Chris, thanks for the compliment! As to leading edge, you could easily
install the McBean extrusion with epoxy then cover it with an 8 inch strip
of fabric and paint to match your wing. I made a hinge of masking tape,
applied the glue and pivoted the extrusion into place and taped to down till
glue sets--simple procedure. As to radiator, I used the McBean air scoop
and engine runs at 180 or below even stationary at 95 degrees ambient. In
flight it stays very cool, and I like the looks of the airscoop. Plus the
scoop adds some speed?
I am happy to hear that you got so much improvement by increasing your GSC
prop pitch!
Regarding trailering with gas in the tanks, I try not to trailer it with
more than 1/2 tank, and I use a syphon which seems quicker than draining at
gascolater. I bent a 3/8 aluminum tube into a ? shape so the end reaches
the back corner of the wing tank and syphons nearly all the gas.
Well, got to go fly now, got to get that 40 hours done! DFW fliers, get in
touch!

When trailering my Avid, I put the tail on the trailer, fold the wings then use the siphon hose to get the fuel out of the wings. When the tail is up, the fuel will run right to the front of the tank and I can suck it all out without having to try and get the hose to the back corner of the tank.
