John,
 
of course you are right with your points below, but if you want to be objective you also should mention that:
 
# Electric water pumps seem to run on how many airplanes yet? And if I am not mistaken all of them run in the "cold".
Let's see who is the first brave man to put one in action in the "hot" and so far I didn't see any proof (test) that confirms the manufactures claims ( volume/time) under real conditions, not just "nearly no pressure volume testing"
( I admit I am NOT a fan of EWP quite yet...., however stand to be corrected)
 
# NACA scoops work: Well I guess you if you make them big enough, of course, BUT there are better and more efficient ways to get cooling air in!
Don't forget this did NOT grow on the R-Popes grey cells, but is comon knowledge - its just that His Highness dug it out of various publications.
Okay, sometimes it sounds like it is his, when he feeds it to his subjects.....
But one should take advantage of his list of resources and really dig in, after all he has a big website and there is a lot of info!
If he wants to be grumpy old man, fine with me!
But I still would use all the good info I can get!
 
# Earth round?? Obviously you never fell off the edge yet!!
Actually it has the shape of a trochoid!! - bet you didn't know that! Well, actually it is more the "world", not neccessarily the earth.....
 
 
Monty,
 
sorry I am late congratulating you, running a little busy right now, so my emails stack up!
Well, now you are a member of a growing, exclusive club, but you didn't make into the executive ranks:
You are just a regular, as you actually know your fatal sin!!
There are some on this list, that to this day wander in the fog, still looking for an answer to the one question:
WHY? WHAT did I do?
Well, sorry, but you missed that chance! :))

Welcome, Monty.
 
Just to help you acclimatize, over here we have developed a new way to find out if things work.
Believe it or not, we actually put them on airplanes and fly.
 
Here are a few facts which have been proven despite the "doctrine" you may have been subject to
 
Electronic water pumps work very well
NACA scoops can be used to cool a rotary powered pusher
The earth is round (well almost).
 
Regards,
John (Lamarless for years and happier for it)
