Hi, Jim....I've been closely monitoring the progress of John Slade. Unfortunately, he hasn't flown yet, so we can't really know how well his cooling system might/might not perform. Al Wick, on the other hand, has a couple hundred hours on his Cozy with a Subaru. Unfortunately, it seems that the Subaru is probably easier to cool than the rotary. Oh well, back to square one. Thanks for the direction and comments. Paul Conner

You probably need to talk to John Slade ... He has a Cozy 13B, air and leather ... Jim S.

Your knowledge of radiators and cooling may be limited....however, my knowledge of radiators and cooling could be written on the head of a match. Thanks for your valuable input, Ed. I was trying to come up with a radiator that could be placed directly in front of the NACA duct, as Al Wick did. I will probably go with a larger radiator, EWP and fan. Thanks again. Paul Conner
