Great stuff George.=20
I appreciate the input.

I'm installing retracts on my airplane which frees up the space behind =
the rear passenger seat (Long-EZ). Depending on what I come up with for =
a radiator, I may be able to tuck it into this space (between the back =
seat and the firewall) and further reduce the profile of the scoop to =
maintain a more streamline shape.=20

Now that I have it in CAD, I can slide it around and figure out the best =
way to fit it into my CAD rendering of the fuselage.=20

Thomas,
Nice research.
I found my notes on inclined radiators, they state
1. 0-20/30* will decrease cooling and increase drag.
2. Over 30* things improve.
3. At approx 55* cooling effectiveness is 30% greater than non-inclined =
rads=20
and drag is less by 20%.

If this was followed the height of the duct would be reduced =
significantly.=20
Put that in your drawing and see what it looks like.
