This is the last little detail getting attended to. I said I'd probably recess the cowling to allow more hot air exit so I did. Surprisingly I don't have any problem with all the modifications to the bottom of the fuselage to let the hot air out. And now I suspect that I have - nearly - enough! I say that because I doubt it would be quite enough if I planned to operate at full throttle the whole time but I will NOT be blasting around at more than 255 kph for entire flights. More like half to 3/4 power most of the time and my cooling system should be fine for that.
In the background you see how this scalloped out area will now join with the recessed fuselage air trough to facilitate lots of air exit.

Mitch,
I press my thumbs.
Everything looks good, you built and finished her very carefully.
The weight- dont care. you will not notice it at all.
Let her pickup speed, gently accelerating her, dont pull too much (!!) , and thats it. Ourr BC has not tendency at all to nose-over. Better thatn the original BC from 3 W with the short legs, as our wheels are further forward. Al I feared proved to be not happening.
Generally she flies like a warbird- trainer, although a slightly overpowerded one :-)
That thing can handle ANYTHING you throw at her
Good luck
