Steve;
Yeah, when we first started this, we decided to get the radiator and oil cooler out of the engine compartment, and did a lot of research on the P-51.  So everything's underneath, and aerodynamic, and hopefully will provide some thrust.  The cowling flap is manually activated, and pretty simple, just the way I like it.

Greg,

That is gonna be one fast airplane.  I am envious because it looks like you've go quite a bit more room under the cowl than me.  Didn't you post that you were doing a radiator in the back someplace ala P-51?

I think I'm gonna stick a pair in the leading edge of my stub wings.  As you can see, they're not going under the cowl.

Cheers,

Steve
