Quite correct Tracy,
Nearly everyones favorite example the P-51 used stacked radiator and oil
coolers. My thought is if you go to the trouble of a wing mount or belly
scoop run a slightly larger radiator and one of the large fluidyne water to
oil coolers. (much to P.L's chagrin) Many nascar teams do use them. Mark
Stetle (sic) put one on his 20B powered Lancair and it has helped his climb
cooling a lot. His is a Lancair ES 4 place and seems to be cooling very well
now.

Bill,
Can't remember who - but the suggestion of an air cooler before the
water to oil cooler is a good one. Would certainly stop any possibility of oil
over heating the water and have the added benefit of the water heating the
oil.
