Default Another first flight.

Happened today. Winds were kind and I took the chance. The 25 min flight
went fine, took off smoothly and touched down nicely without a bounce
inspite of 7kts cross wind.
There is some tweaking to be done; radio worked intermittently - lost
communications with traffic, but the standby airport rescue crew covered
for me; the engine was near top temperature limit at climb; and oil
temperature was high - at only 70F outside, maybe I need bigger oil cooler for
the Franklin? Any Franklin experts out there? Recommended oil cooler size?
