This scoope is the original SS type, however it is almost half covered by 

the protrusion of the bottom cowl. This dimish the effectiviness of the 

scoope. Make this cowl bottom flat and vent the eng comp. at the engine 

cowl. sides.

Seal the area around the rad. inside the scoope.

Throw out that thermostat and install a double flapper valves, as Don did.

Later on you may make a very efficient low weight cabin heater 

system...    

BTW. My rad is (20 X 4 X 2)".

This work.

Torgeir.

 I think it's the Speedster cowl. I've added a back plate which forces all

 the incoming air through the radiator. I'll dig up a picture.

 I don't know. Bob Robertson did the break in. I'm going to try the hose

 because I have to do more full throttle static runs. I'm going to put the

 mains on stands and run it for a while with the tanks near empty to make

 sure I've got good fuel flow. I'm then going to check flows with the 

 tanks

 full. I'll probably put at least an hour on it static so I'll want the

 capability to keep it cool.

Don't think I'll need that until my first trip to Alaska. (I'm in sunny SoCal.)



Thanks Torgeir!

Guy,

This is exactly what I did and it's not "Uggh more work".  It's "UGGH A 

WHOLE LOT MORE WORK".  However, I think (more testing needed in real hot 

weather) it did the trick.
