Jerry, I just updated the Lancair drawing on the web site
to show side cowl flaps. The layout is similar to a TailWind.

Paul, I really enjoy your time and efforts involved in your drawings... but,
I am concerned that this drawing doesn't include the oil cooler.... I was
also wondering if there is enough room to get to the belts for service
maintenance???

Thanks again for all of your efforts!

They are not cast in concrete. Move the engine forward a bit. 
What has become very clear is if you use side exhaust, wide set rubber
mounts like a Questair Venture and side cowl flaps you suddenly get a whole
bunch of room under most cowls to work with. Plenty of room for all sorts
of intake manifolds, mufflers and turbo chargers. 

The stock oil rad can go alongside the water rad. The reason this is so 
natural is the exhaust comes out the side of a rotary engine and not the 
bottom like most aircraft engines. Duh! :-)> 

Check the CO in the cockpit and put a deflector
on the side of the fuselage if you get any. It is easier to wipe
the oil off the side of the airplane than it is to wipe it off the
bottom.

Here is the latest for the RV6.
