Hi
Bill,
1. Your temps sound better than mine...:0) (for
now)
2. What were the temps
before you made the cowl flap larger?
3. What is the angle of
your flap and what are its dimensions? What is the area of the opening
behind the flap? One can open the angle of the flap to increase the
opening, which also increases drag and calls for an adjustable flap. Or,
one can move the flap forward on the bottom of the cowl and keep the angle and
flap dimensions the same. This will make the exit area larger and I don't
know what it will do to drag..:-)
4. Less than WOT (25")
calls for more runway, I'd think.
Share a little more of the
particulars, please.
Tommy

I made a new one that is about twice the size of the
original. Now I can climb out at 25 inches MAP with OAT over 100F,
and the oil stays under 200, and the coolant stays about 205. Does
that sound reasonable for temps?
