Hello Nigel,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thank you for your comments on my inlet cowl flap you saw in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Vichy. Some additional information: the lower position is to be used on the ground only. The flap must be raised to the neutral position just before take-off. If you don’t, it is very difficult to actuate in flight due to the huge aerodynamic forces. From neutral to the upper position, it can be adjusted at will in flight to control the CHT and oil temperatures: especially useful in winter.

Regards

When I was at Vichy this year I met one of our French owners (sorry I
forgot his name). He has a very clever inlet cowl flap. It is part of
the lower cowl in front of the radiators and has a hinge at the rear of
it. In very hot weather it is lowered below the normal cowl allowing
more cooling air in. In cold weather it is raised impeding airflow to
the radiators. This is all controlled from the cockpit so that inflight
adjustments can be made. [quote][b]

Hi Remi

Thanks for coming back to me. If you have any photos or diagrams showing your setup I would be grateful. In particular how you arrange the linkage and control of the flap would be interesting.

Probably best to communicate direct to me at nwcmc(at)tiscali.co.uk (nwcmc(at)tiscali.co.uk).

Regards

Nigel Charles

Hello Nigel,

Thank you for your comments on my inlet cowl flap you saw in Vichy. Some additional information: the lower position is to be used on the ground only. The flap must be raised to the neutral position just before take-off. If you don’t, it is very difficult to actuate in flight due to  the huge aerodynamic forces.  From neutral to the upper position, it can be adjusted at will in flight to control the CHT and oil temperatures: especially useful in winter.
