 Bob, I will try to get details and a photo of the Wittman
 installation.  I'm told he put a very sleek cowl  on that airplane.

I just saw a very poor picture of the Wittman rad installation.  The
rad lays flat above the engine. Air enters behind the spinner (I
think) into a plenum created by the top of the cowl, and then exits
downward, bottom rear.  I could have done that with my set up, if I
had started out that way.  Nice big rad, very aerodynamic.   I will
get a better pic.   Jerry
