Jeff:

After my first month of flying last summer in Texas I added a cowl flap to the outlet of the James Cowl on my RV-7A Renesis.  I now can control water temps in climb to a max of 210* in summer and by closing the cowl in winter I keep the temps warm also.  My oil is usually 10 to 15* cooler than the water.  No good data yet on flying in real cold - below 35* - weather.
Dennis, what happens to your cruise speed if you open the cowl flaps in level flight?
