 I think that was Charlie Airesman airplane. Nice job. I don't think
 anybody has tried it so far with a rotary.

 Here is a picture looking down Charlie augmentor tube from the back side.

Paul,
For those that didn't see it in person (I did), your photo shows a detail
that helps make Charlie's system work so well.

Namely, if you look closely at the photo, you can see light through the
radiator.  This is real. He has a straight line from the exhaust end right
through the radiator to the NACA scoop on the bottom of the aircraft.  The
air does not have to twist and turn or change directions.

I was very impressed with Charlie's work.

Speaking of Charlie's NACA scoop it was tiny! Course he was only cooling an 
engine with about 60 to 80 HP.
