Hey Tom;
Couple early pictures of our P-51
scoop. We went for it because of that same article.
Additionally, we can drop it with removal of 4 hose fittings, 106
screws, 10 bolts, and a tranny jack. everything is external until it
hits the cowling, and almost identical to the P-51 profile, so we're hoping
for a little thrust bonus.

Cooler Combo
Thanks
all ……
Okay
…. So here’s what I’m taking away here.
Coolant
style heat exchanger at the oil filter location : Not currently being used
in known rotary applications. Consensus is that it is not
sufficient.
Oil
Cooler in the radiator? I read where Tracy (in an early version) tried
running a coolant coil through the oil pan.
So
is everyone running a separate oil cooler?
I’m
putting this in a canard and will be using the P-51 style scoop. I’ve
bounced back and forth between that and a NACA scoop. After reading an
article on the ‘Meredith Effect’ I settled on the P-51 scoop.
I’m
a ways off on the engine install but I’m trying to avoid painting myself in
a corner. I should be installing my engine next summer with a little
luck.
