Ed, Tracy, Fin and anybody else flying a tractor rotary powered
airplane with rads under the cowl. Please measure your under cowl pressure
with a water manometer at 150 MPH. This data will help greatly 
in determining the future direction of rotary engine cooling.

Also please consider sealing the area around the nose of the 
PSRU and measuring the cowl pressure again.

BTW Here is a picture of some of the air outlets on that
Turbo Lance I mentioned. There is another set of louvers on
the other side in the same place as well as two bottom outlets 
with cowl flaps.

Apparently this curve on the cowl is a low pressure area
as the air will tend to speed up and move laterally here 
because of the high pressure build up in front of the 
windshield.
