Peter Garrison was on the list at that time and we finally concluded
after
weeks of discussion it was not worth it.

What a shame!
My dreams of a zero cowling drag comes down!

And if we dispose a "plate" of aluminium, with some wrinkles  ( fences? I mean,
like  vortex generators to enhance changes between the air and the cowling
system) , under the fuselage, exposed to air stream, like a rad block, but
without air flux across of it?  This will generate some drag, but less than the
radiator blocks. This option was discoussed and concluded too?

No the vortex generators under the cowling were not discussed.
Sounds interesting.
