 Try 300 MPH because that is how fast the Lancair IV EngineAir
Chevy
V8
goes
with
 electric cooling fans. Use the same kind they do. There are at
least
 a half dozen flying and they have come in second two years in a
row
in
 the NC to OSH race at over a 300 MPH average.

If the fan switch is wired so that the fan motor brushes are shunted
when
turned off, the fan will only turn very slowly.

Lynn,
Could you elaborate on how that is done? Some sort of diagram? Thanks,
for the electrically impaired.....
