I know we've seen these shots before, but I thought we should
give him credit for making the trip.

Why not? It's a rotary is it not?
Bill was at Sun & Fun in Florida as well.
Since Bill's airplane seems to cool fine with AC cores it must be his cowl
flap that makes it cool better than Tracy's and Ed Anderson's. :)
Bill claims this cowl flap is worth 5 or 8 MPH. I forget which.

 Actually, I haven't had cooling problem since late spring 2000 when I made
my last mod to the cooling system.  Once I put the oil cooler out front
under the spinner and as oil temps came down so did coolant temps.  Oil
normal is 170-180F with coolant 165-175F.  Cores Cool!{:>)

Got any pictures of the new core inlet duct you just built Ed?
Where did the 7 degrees per inch number come from?
