The wing root radiator looks great.....  Far enough back that it probably

I've often wondered about radiators that actually used the surface of the
wing as heat exchanger surface..... never could figure out a bullet proof
way of doing it though.

It was used in WW I. A rad was mounted horizontally in the center of the top
bi plane wing. Cooled great but loss of lift and increase in drag
led to its demise.
