Hi Al,

I fly a RV-6A with a 13B.  The airopening for each of the two radiators
is 24 Sq In and the surface area of each radaitor is 117 Sq In which gives a
ratio of duct opening to radiator surface of 0.20.

New oil cooler opening under spinner is 20 Sq In and the cooler is 88 Sq In
for a ratio of 0.23.

At high power settings on climb out with OAT at 80F, oil and coolant temps
got no higher than 160F.

Oh, and water rad thickness while we are at it?
