<< We may have a minor rad breakthrough here. I am talking to Ron Davis
 about building some rads for us. He does not know they are for aircraft
 yet so don't tell him. He does know they are for rotaries.

 We had good communication because  of my racing experience. He was a fan
 of Chaparral as a kid back in the 60's :-)
 What I will be asking for is 16 inches wide about 20 inches long
 cross counter flow rad two pass rad. As per this sketch. Any comments?
 any other request. I can get the price down if he feels he can sell more.

I might be interested in a rad of that size and config.  Which way is which
in your sketch (long/wide)?  I bought some Ron Davis rads at Moller and while
I had no problem with them they were "brazed" together with epoxy.  I bet he
still does it this way.  Maybe you should ask and consider whether you still
want them.

Well I would really like the tubes to go the short way but most
cores you get now a days the tubes run the long way. Cross flow
in a car.

Good point Jeff. I will ask.
