>Congratulations Perry !! 10 years of Rotary flying is very impressive.
>Would you please tell me how your cooling is setup and how it works. I'm limited in climb by high oil temps. I throttle back >during climb to keep them at or below 220 deg F.
>My oil is cooled using an oil cooler from a 1987 RX-7 Mazda. My water is 20 deg cooler than the oil in climb.

Oil and water both have inlet air ducted to the directly to the coolers, and exit air directly overboard, no heat is dumped in the cowl.
But this arrangement may only work on a pusher or a P-51 type system on a tractor.
