The cooling and shrinking water should pull the seal tighter on the throat of the radiator. I will look closer at it when I have another go. Yes a 582 on a B22 I instructed in B22. I like them.	tut (12033)

Immediately after touch down vacate the area as rapidly as possible - a toolbox will be arriving any minute. ;)	R2x1 (4628)

I did my instructor rating with Dave after 30 years as a GA instructor. Put the fun back in flying. Shame about Max though.	tut (12033)

They sure were high drag. Went for a fly in some Italian job one that flew to Australia and it would glide around for ages I was flying the owner cut the power seemed like I had all day to pick a paddock. In fact at 2000ft over Te Kowhai I reckon I could make Ngawahia. B22 you had about a nano second to pick a paddock before you you hit the ground. Yeah real sad about Max. I flew a few times with him once night flying with me holding a ex Kittyhawk landing lamp over the side and there was fog building over the field. I was flying by myself once and he sneaked alongside in a plane he was testing and had his wing almost under mine I was terrified. Those were the days	prefect (6291)

Thanks prefect, that explained a lot.I will check if the cap I have is the proper recovery type or if there is a problem with the valve in the recovery type cap I should have. If the valve is faulty in any way it would explain the problem.	tut (12033)
1263530	2012-04-09 06:22:00	Problem solved. Thanks to all that offered advice My tame mechanic in all his wizdom had put a leak sealer in the radiator water "just in case" and this had caused the recovery valve on the cap to malfuction. I new cap solved the problem.	tut (12033)
