Since you also plan to move your radiators back into the wing, see if
you can rig up a "heat exchanger with a box on top" in line with your cabin
air intake. On really hot days, dump it full of ice before takeoff. You get to
stay a little cooler under the solar collector. As the ice melts, you have to
get rid of the drippings. Just run a drip tube to an exit that's in front of
the radiators. Presto! Two birds, one stone.
Monty, Since you are "sort of" duplicating the ME109 cooling layout it is
worth mentioning that they used a split flap inboard that could produce a low
pressure area into which to dump the climb and high AOA air. The system worked
well untill the increasing HP forced the need for P51 type scoops. Additionally
the Main competiiton (Spitfires) used a similar Rad layout.
