The RV6A has about 24sq" each side as standard. My air cond rads are
9"x10"X2.5" close to, and parallel to the openings.Cooling did not work
until I added outlet slots on either side of the cowling in the low
pressure
area. Inlet to the oil cooler is only 3" diameter and is OK for level
flight. More test flying soon, I'm still a bit nervous after having the
front leg collapse.
Any more news on the noise abatement? Mine has got to be fixed before I
go
deaf!

Got any picture Ian?

Tracy came up with something that works pretty good. What is the latest
on this Tracy?

Please remember, that Tracy's muffler is about 40" long.

Why do you think that is a problem Jerry? It does not appear to add much
drag.

No, It should not drag too much.  I wish I would have seen his "pipe" before
I bought my muffler.
