For some dispassionate person sitting on the side lines you sure had a
lot of opinions. Here are some of them.

BTW This is your subject header:
"Simple cheap, ugly, turbulent and no work cooling system."

Hey if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen :)

Subject: Simple cheap, ugly, turbulent and no work cooling system.

Agreed, and even if it does cool like nothing else the amount of
turbulence
is unacceptible. We're trying to minimize, not increase
the turbulence. Why do you think people doggedly want to hang onto
their NACA scoops instead of givie them up for a P-51
scoop?... not everybody thinks P-51 scoops are neat looking
on anything but a P-51.

Sure Perrys works but this is not an apples an oranges comparison,
for one feeding his prop is like no other canard.
Paul , you are putting optimal cooling success in front of all
other considerations and if I were approaching a rotary install for the
first time would pass on the whole idea if this were the best way to
do it, I don't think people are going to volentarily go for ugly
and draggy turbulent solutions, they are trying to IMPROVE their
planes not put them in the junkyard wars catagory.

Paul,

Stick by your guns.  This cooling idea will work, is simple and will be
easy to refine if needed.

"Ugly" is a matter of opinion....
