Paul:
Not only do we have problems with cooling drag but it appears that we need additional training on
computers.  Here are some pictures that we though went out yesterday.  Hope the size of the
pictures are OK and that they will help to tell our story.

Pete has a Lycoming (at the moment :-)) but he is doing some cowl pressure cooling research which is
of intense interest to us.
Pete sent a lot of good pictures so I will handle just a few at a time.

OK what value of air pressure are you seeing here at what airspeed
in this NACA duct feeding the intercooler?

Ops sent the wrong picture. Here is the inlet.
