Monty,
If your coolant temp is limited with good oil temps then
placing the oil to water exchanger between two radiators may be the best
solution. If your oil temp limited with good water temps then placing the oil to
water changer after the last radiator before the engine inlet should
work best. I have testing my both ways.

Mike,
Great to hear you are flying again.
I don't know if you have seen some of the new
water/oil heat exchangers?. They mount in the tank of the water radiator. The
preferred installation would be a dual pass water rad where the front tank is
divided. The water flows through 1/2 of the radiator and gets cooled off. Then
it flows through the end tank past the oil cooler picking up heat. Then it flows
back through the second half of the radiator and gets cooled off again and
finally gets returned to the engine. This solves the "which hose do I put the
oil cooler in" dilemma. It also can greatly simplify the ductwork and make the
radiator more efficient. If you are thinking about re-doing your cowl, it might
solve some of your problems.

Finally. I'm confident that the reseat of the B
controller chip solved my problem with spontaneous loss of data. I flew for
1.5 hours last friday. Engine running great and staying cool. Minor issues
with the radio, landing gear shimmy on the landing, and still dont have the
rudder trim right. But getting closer. Hope to get serious now about getting
this thing working now that summer (and the soaring season) are winding down.
Too many hobbies.
