Hello Paul
Here is the rad installation on my Rans S7.
The coolant lines run along the center of the floor inside the cabin.
 I haven't appreciated the heat from them this summer but
these days it is feeling better. The lower rad surface is uncovered.
Seems to be what you have shown in the initial photo. Cools
my huge high powered Rotax 582 just fine.

How did I miss this for so long? Thanks for the picture Peter. I'll add
it to my collection on this subject.

Paul,
Could always add an aerodynamic front edge to off-set some drag - probably
extend and shape the sides to accommodate this.

I agree. The main thing is to not block the air coming out of the
back of the rad in anyway.
