Paul;

Jim Mayfield has a rad under his Wankel engine and Chuck Harbert's
main radiator is flat under his engine. Both have crude sheet metal
scoops with no boundry layer air bleed. I have pictures of both.

You might want to note that Chuck's "main" radiator is beside the engine.
The one flat under the engine was added when he realized the first one
wouldn't do the job.

That's why I said perhaps there is one for each rotor :-)
Do I really need to scan in Jim Mayfields picture for
all ye of little faith? :-)

Actually the big proplem with Chucks main radiator is the
duct IMHO. The air intake is great being an armpit
location on a pusher. Well perhaps the rad is a bit thick.
